New radiation approach aims to ease side effects for prostate cancer patients

NCT ID NCT04083937

Summary

This study is testing whether a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) causes fewer bowel side effects than standard radiation (photon therapy) for men who need radiation after prostate cancer surgery. It also checks if a shorter, more intense radiation schedule works as well as the longer standard one at keeping the cancer from coming back. The goal is to control the cancer while improving patients' quality of life.
