Heat boosts radiation in prostate cancer comeback trial
NCT ID NCT02899221
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tested a combination of heat therapy (hyperthermia) and high-dose radiation for men whose prostate cancer returned after earlier radiation. Only 3 men took part, and the main goal was to check safety and side effects. The approach aims to make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation by heating them.
