First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing a Urolift device in the prostate before stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce urinary side effects like frequent urination, pain, and nighttime trips to the bathroom. About 20 men with both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) will receive the Urolift and then SBRT. Researchers will track symptom scores and quality of life for one year to see if the device helps.
