MRI checks how prostate cancer responds to radiation
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes after radiation treatment, especially in the local (prostate-area) response. It may help doctors better judge treatment effectiveness and plan care more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed prostate cancer from biopsy/cytology (outside reports usually allowed).
- Your cancer is either newly diagnosed at intermediate/high risk or a suspected/confirmed local relapse.
- You have not had prostate surgery, radiation, or prostate hormone therapy yet for the newly diagnosed group.
- You can have MRI safely (no MRI-incompatible implants or metal, and no very poor kidney function).
- Your health is strong enough for study visits (performance status not too limited).

This study uses special prostate MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes over time while you stay on active surveillance. It also looks at prostate tissue to understand your cancer’s genetics, which may help guide future decisions.
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can allow lower doses to the healthy parts of the prostate, potentially reducing side effects. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that can be seen on MRI and has not spread.
This study uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
This study tests radiation treatment planned and guided using MRI scans (“image-guided radiotherapy”) for men with prostate cancer who are aiming for a cure. If you qualify, you may receive radiation with more precise targeting using MRI to help deliver treatment accurately.
This study tests whether new MRI imaging methods can better identify and grade prostate cancer in men with elevated PSA levels. You would get an MRI scan to help doctors see if cancer is present and how aggressive it might be.
This study uses repeat MRI scans to monitor men with an intermediate suspicion of prostate cancer, aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies while still catching significant cancers early.
