Study tests whether to treat prostate cancer recurrence immediately or wait for better scans
NCT ID NCT05008900
Summary
This study aimed to find out if it's better to give radiation treatment right away or to wait and use more sensitive scans later for men whose prostate cancer shows early signs of returning after surgery. It compared two standard approaches: immediate radiation versus monitoring with blood tests and repeating a special PET scan when cancer markers rise higher. The goal was to see if the 'wait and watch' approach with delayed scanning is practical for doctors and patients.
