First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests a precise type of radiation called proton therapy for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if targeting the tumor and nearby lymph nodes causes fewer bowel and bladder side effects than standard radiation. About 30 participants will receive treatment and be monitored for side effects within 30 days.
