Radiation showdown: which prostate cancer boost saves more lives with fewer side effects?
NCT ID NCT01936883
Summary
This study compares two ways to deliver an extra dose of radiation (called a 'boost') to men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if a high-dose-rate method works as well as a low-dose-rate method at keeping cancer from returning, while causing fewer side effects and better preserving quality of life. The study involves 195 men and tracks their symptoms and quality of life for up to five years.
