Heating up the fight: new combo tested for tough prostate cancer cases

NCT ID NCT02899221

Summary

This early study tested a new approach for men whose prostate cancer returned after previous radiation treatment. Doctors combined a short, high-dose radiation treatment with immediately heating the tumor, hoping the heat would make the cancer cells more sensitive to the radiation. The main goal was to see if this two-part treatment was safe and feasible for patients.
