This study is testing if a shorter, more precise form of radiation therapy is as effective as the standard longer course for treating prostate cancer that hasn't spread. Men with localized prostate cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either two treatments of a newer, adap…

This study is testing a procedure called TULSA, which uses MRI-guided ultrasound to heat and destroy prostate cancer tumors. It aims to be a less invasive alternative to surgery for men with low to intermediate risk cancer, with a key goal of preserving urinary control and sexual…

This study is testing whether adjusting radiation treatment plans daily using real-time MRI or CT scans can reduce side effects for men with localized prostate cancer. Researchers will compare this 'adaptive' approach to standard radiation that uses a fixed plan. The goal is to s…

This study is for men whose prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes after surgery. It tests if adding a drug called apalutamide to the usual hormone and radiation therapy can better control the cancer and prevent it from spreading further. The goal is to see if this stro…

This study is testing whether taking a high weekly dose of vitamin D can help protect bone strength in older men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy. Hormone therapy can weaken bones, increasing the risk of fractures and falls. Researchers will compare the bone…

This study is testing a more precise form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It uses real-time imaging to track the prostate's movement during treatment, allowing doctors to deliver radiation more accurately. The goal is to reduce common side effects lik…

This study is testing a new type of imaging scan to see if it can accurately tell whether prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. If successful, this scan could help doctors decide which patients truly need to have their lymph nodes removed during prostate cancer surger…

This study is testing whether wrapping delicate nerves with a special protective tissue during prostate cancer surgery can help men recover better. The goal is to see if this wrap can reduce common side effects like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence after the operatio…
