First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study explores whether advanced MRI scans can detect how prostate cancer and nearby healthy tissues respond to radiation therapy while treatment is still ongoing. Researchers will enroll 38 men with prostate cancer who are scheduled for external beam radiation. The goal is to see if MRI changes can predict tumor recurrence or side effects early, allowing doctors to adjust treatment and reduce damage to the bladder and rectum.
