Power ultrasound helps locate prostate treatment needles
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special ultrasound method (power Doppler ultrasound) can better guide where needles go during high-dose-rate radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to improve targeting during the procedure while you receive standard treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 18 or older
- You can and agree to sign a written consent form
- You have prostate cancer confirmed by a past biopsy
- Your doctors think high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy is appropriate standard treatment for you
- You have not had any radiation therapy to your prostate before

This trial tests a precise radiation treatment for men with intermediate risk prostate cancer. It uses a special ultrasound to guide the radiation, aiming to treat the cancer while protecting healthy tissue. You should consider this if you have not had prior prostate cancer treatment and meet the risk category.
This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
This trial tests a new imaging method that uses sound waves to check the accuracy of proton radiation therapy for prostate cancer. It aims to improve treatment precision while being non-invasive, and participants will need to tolerate a water-filled ultrasound pad on their skin during treatment.
This trial tests a new radiation technique to better protect erectile function during prostate cancer treatment. It uses advanced imaging to precisely target the tumor while reducing harm to nearby structures.
This study is testing a new way of giving radiation for prostate cancer, called ePUHRT, combined with a standard brachytherapy boost (a small radioactive implant placed inside the prostate). It aims to see if this approach is well-tolerated and safe for people with higher-risk prostate cancer.
This trial tests if a focused ultrasound treatment can safely and effectively treat prostate cancer that has come back after radiation therapy. The ultrasound uses sound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells in a specific area of the prostate while sparing healthy tissue.
