Could fewer radiation sessions mean fewer side effects for prostate cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT06325046
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether two radiation treatments with advanced targeting cause fewer side effects than the usual five treatments for men with localized prostate cancer. About 144 participants will receive either the shorter or standard approach, and researchers will track quality of life and side effects over time. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective but easier on patients.
