NCT ID NCT02899221
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This early study tested whether adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to high-dose radiation is safe for men whose prostate cancer returned after previous radiation. Only 3 men took part, and the main goal was to see side effects. The approach aims to make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation by heating them slightly above body temperature.
