Sharper beams target prostate tumors, aiming to spare healthy tissue

NCT ID NCT03624660

Summary

This study is testing a more precise form of radiation therapy for men with high-risk prostate cancer. It uses proton beams and advanced MRI scans to deliver a stronger radiation dose directly to the visible tumor inside the prostate, while trying to limit damage to surrounding healthy organs. The goal is to see if this approach improves long-term cancer control and reduces side effects compared to standard treatments.
