Proton therapy showdown: does adding hormones beat radiation alone for prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT01492972
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread: proton beam radiation alone versus radiation plus hormone-blocking therapy (androgen suppression). About 192 men will receive either 28 sessions of proton therapy or the same radiation with added hormones. The goal is to see which approach better prevents cancer from returning or spreading, while also tracking side effects and quality of life.
