Could 2 sessions of proton therapy be enough for prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT07130682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new, shorter way to treat prostate cancer using proton therapy. Instead of the usual 5 sessions, researchers want to see if just 2 sessions are as safe and effective. The goal is to make treatment faster and more affordable while keeping side effects low. About 35 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer will take part.
