Summary
This study tested a shorter course of radiation (2 to 4 weeks) for men whose prostate cancer came back after prostate removal. The goal was to find the shortest schedule that is safe and tolerable. Thirty men received daily radiation targeting the tumor seen on scans, while giving less radiation to the surrounding area. The study aimed to reduce side effects and treatment time.
