Comparing radiation side effects for low-risk prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (SBRT and LDR brachytherapy) for men with low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see which treatment causes fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have prostate cancer that is low risk or favorable intermediate risk.
- Your cancer must be diagnosed within the last 8 months.
- Your prostate size must be 60 milliliters or less.
- You must be able to complete questionnaires about urinary and sexual function.
- You cannot have had prior prostate surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy.
- You must be 18 or older and in generally good health.

This trial tests a focused form of radiation placed inside the prostate to treat only the cancer area in people with low-risk prostate cancer. It aims to control the cancer while limiting treatment to a smaller area.
This trial studies how safe and effective different high-dose radiation levels are for prostate cancer placed directly in the prostate (HDR brachytherapy). It may help by finding a dose that controls the cancer while keeping side effects acceptable.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation can effectively treat prostate cancer while reducing side effects. It is for men with certain types of prostate cancer that are visible on an MRI.
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 study compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate, including a “boost” using a special internal radiation treatment. It’s meant to see which radiation schedule works better and is safer for certain prostate cancer patients.
This study looks at how to best plan and deliver treatment for men with advanced local prostate cancer. It may help find the most effective approach while keeping side effects manageable.
