Could less radiation be better for prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT06638541

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether giving a lower dose of radiation in just two sessions can reduce side effects for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. All participants will be treated on a special MRI-guided machine (MR-Linac) that adapts the radiation daily. The main goal is to see if the lower dose causes fewer urinary problems while still keeping the cancer under control.

Active substance

radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a lower radiation dose is just as effective but causes fewer urinary side effects for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Lowering the dose might also reduce cancer control, though the study will monitor PSA levels closely.
