First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests two types of radiation therapy—proton beam and IMRT—given in shorter courses for men whose prostate cancer has come back and spread only to pelvic or abdominal lymph nodes. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is safer and causes fewer severe side effects. About 84 men who had prior radiation for their original prostate cancer will take part.
