Test treatment plans to preserve erections during prostate radiation
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies ways to help preserve erectile function while you receive radiation treatment for prostate cancer. It may help by aiming to protect erections, especially for people at low to intermediate risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy (adenocarcinoma)
- Your prostate cancer is low-risk or intermediate-risk (not high-risk)
- Your erections are currently somewhat preserved (IIEF-5 score 17 to 25)
- You cannot have had prior pelvic radiation or prostate removal surgery
- You must be able to get an MRI and sign consent

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 compares two radiation treatments—seed brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to see which better preserves erections in men with early- to mid-risk prostate cancer. It’s designed to help patients understand how different curative radiation choices can affect sexual function.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that is customized for each patient's prostate cancer. The radiation targets the tumor more precisely, which may help reduce side effects while treating the cancer effectively.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. It also tests two different instructions for how full your bladder should be during treatment. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for patients.
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
This trial tests if giving fewer radiation treatments using a special MRI-guided machine is safe and effective for men with prostate cancer. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
