Radiation breakthrough aims to spare men from treatment side effects

NCT ID NCT06995053

Summary

This study is testing a more precise form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It uses real-time imaging to track the prostate's movement during treatment, allowing doctors to deliver radiation more accurately. The goal is to reduce common side effects like urinary and bowel problems by minimizing the amount of healthy tissue exposed to radiation. Researchers will enroll 80 men to see if this targeted approach is safer while still effectively controlling the cancer.
