Prostate cancer study tracks immune changes during brachytherapy

NCT ID NCT07131956

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how the immune system changes in men with prostate cancer who receive brachytherapy (internal radiation). Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples before, during, and after treatment to track immune cells and DNA. The goal is to better understand the body's response to radiation, not to test a new drug. About 200 participants will be enrolled.
