Summary

This study looks at whether a genetic biomarker can identify prostate cancer patients at higher risk for side effects from radiation therapy. Researchers will track side effects in 208 men with early-stage prostate cancer who receive stereotactic radiation. The goal is to see if sharing this genetic risk information with patients and doctors helps them choose safer radiation doses.
