First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer: one that boosts the whole prostate gland and one that boosts only the main tumor. About 186 men will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer urinary and bowel side effects.

Active substance

radiation therapy (stereotactic body radiotherapy, SBRT)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to fewer urinary and bowel side effects for men receiving radiation for prostate cancer.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 186 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk that focusing on the main tumor might miss other cancer cells.
