First seen Mar 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study compares two types of radiation therapy for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. One group gets standard radiation (38 sessions over 8 weeks) and the other gets a shorter course (5 sessions over 5 weeks). Both groups also receive hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment causes fewer side effects and maintains quality of life.
