5-Session prostate cancer radiation: a game changer?
NCT ID NCT04845503
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a very short course of MRI-guided radiation (just 5 sessions) is safe and effective for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Traditional radiation can take 7-8 weeks, but this approach aims to cut that time dramatically. The trial involves 68 participants and will monitor side effects and cancer control over one year.
