Advanced scans aim to see inside prostate during radiation
NCT ID NCT01607008
Summary
This study is testing whether advanced MRI scans can detect early changes in prostate cancer and surrounding healthy tissues during radiation therapy. Researchers will scan 38 men at three points in their treatment to see if the MRI results can predict treatment effectiveness or potential side effects. The goal is to gather information that could one day help doctors adjust treatment sooner, but this study itself will not change any patient's current treatment plan.
