Precision radiation may cure prostate cancer with fewer side effects

This study tests a new way to treat prostate cancer using a single, high-dose radiation session aimed only at the tumor, not the whole prostate. For early-stage patients, this may be enough to cure the cancer. For higher-risk patients, the single session is followed by standard radiation. Some patients also receive a very short course of hormone therapy. The goal is to improve cure rates while reducing side effects and preserving quality of life.
