Precision radiation targets hidden prostate cancer spots
NCT ID NCT06392295
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving radiation to the para-aortic lymph nodes (located in the abdomen) can better control prostate cancer that has returned in a limited number of spots. Men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and up to five lesions seen on a PSMA PET/CT scan will receive daily radiation for five weeks, along with standard hormone therapy. The goal is to improve cancer control and maintain quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radiation therapy (photon or proton) to para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a more targeted way to control prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes, potentially delaying the need for stronger treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (34 participants) and may not prove effective for everyone. Radiation to the abdomen carries risks such as fatigue, bowel or bladder irritation, and possible long-term side effects.
