First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study uses advanced MRI scans to guide radiation therapy for men with localized prostate cancer. Depending on whether a tumor is visible on the MRI, patients receive either a short course of radiation to the whole prostate or a longer treatment that boosts the dose to the tumor. The goal is to control the cancer while reducing side effects like urinary and bowel problems.
