Summary

This study tested whether a shorter, more intense radiation schedule (5 sessions) works as well as the standard longer schedule (26 sessions) for men with prostate cancer. The goal was to see if the shorter treatment could control the cancer just as well, based on PSA levels after four years. The trial involved 161 men with early-stage prostate cancer.
