NCT ID NCT03486821

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tested a new, shorter radiation schedule (ultra-hypofractionation) in 13 men with early-stage prostate cancer. The goal was to see if this approach causes fewer urinary side effects while still controlling the cancer. Participants had low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer and were followed for up to 3 years to monitor side effects and cancer progression.
