First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to give radiation for prostate cancer using advanced MRI scans to guide the treatment. 54 men with localized prostate cancer received either 5 sessions of radiation to the whole prostate or a longer course with a targeted boost to visible tumors. The goal was to see if this approach reduces long-term side effects while still controlling the cancer.
