First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a gel called SpaceOAR that is injected between the prostate and rectum before radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The gel creates a temporary space to protect the rectum from radiation damage. Fifteen men with early-stage prostate cancer took part, and the study checked how well the gel worked and if there were any side effects within 30 days.
