New tracking tech aims to make prostate radiation more accurate
NCT ID NCT01742403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a method called KIM that tracks the prostate's position during radiation using implanted gold markers. If the prostate moves more than 3mm, the radiation beam stops and is repositioned. The goal is to see if this technique is feasible in 100 men receiving radiation for prostate cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
kV intrafraction monitoring (KIM) with radiation gating
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could make prostate cancer radiotherapy more precise, reducing damage to healthy tissue.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study, not designed to prove treatment effectiveness. The technique may not work in all patients or may add time to procedures.
