New study aims to predict prostate cancer treatment success using blood and scans
NCT ID NCT02997709
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting blood samples and imaging scans from 144 prostate cancer patients before, during, and after standard radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if changes in circulating tumor cells and MRI/PET imaging features can help predict how well the cancer responds to treatment. The goal is to better understand which patients benefit most from radiation, but this is an observational study and does not test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It aims to gather information, not test a new therapy, so it won't directly change patient care.
