New study: could targeted radiation alone beat prostate cancer without hormone pills?
NCT ID NCT05169970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a precise type of radiation (SBRT) alone can control unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer, avoiding the need for hormone therapy. About 215 participants will receive SBRT, with the radiation dose guided by a genetic test (Decipher) to personalize treatment. The goal is to see if this approach prevents cancer from returning or spreading.
