Summary

This study tests a precise type of radiation therapy (MRgRT) that aims to protect the nerves and blood vessels needed for erections in 70 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Participants receive 5 high-dose radiation sessions guided by MRI. The goal is to see if this approach can prevent erectile dysfunction while still controlling the cancer.
