Shorter radiation course tested for prostate cancer recovery

NCT ID NCT03987386

Summary

This study compares two radiation schedules given after prostate cancer surgery. It tests whether a shorter, more intense 4.5-week course works as well as the standard 7-week course at keeping cancer from returning. Researchers will track side effects and quality of life for up to 5 years to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective and easier on patients.
