Treating the primary tumor for prostate cancer that has spread a little
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether treating the main prostate tumor with local therapy (like surgery or radiation) along with hormone therapy is beneficial for men whose cancer has spread to only a few spots in the body (low-volume metastases). It focuses on men who have not had any prior treatment for their prostate cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to a few places (less than 4 bone spots, no spread to organs like liver or lungs).
- Your cancer was confirmed by a prostate biopsy and does not have a rare type called neuroendocrine cells.
- You have not had any previous treatment for prostate cancer, such as surgery or radiation.
- You have been on hormone therapy for less than 6 months, or haven't started it yet.
- You are generally healthy and able to go about your daily activities (ECOG score 0 or 1).

This trial studies giving radiation and hormone-related treatment before surgery (to remove the prostate) for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a small number of sites. It may help control the cancer earlier and improve outcomes by treating both the prostate and the limited metastases.
This study looks at how well treating the main prostate tumor works for men whose cancer has only spread to a few spots (like bone or lung). It uses a special scan called PSMA-PET to find those spots and aims to see if local treatment helps control the disease.
This trial tests whether giving intense hormone therapy along with either radiation or surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (10 or fewer) but not to organs like the liver or lungs. The goal is to treat both the main tumor and the visible metastatic spots more aggressively.
This study tests whether adding a type of high-precision radiation (MDRT) to standard hormone therapy works better for men with prostate cancer that has spread to just a few places. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed and on long-term hormone therapy.
This trial tests whether giving radiotherapy to the prostate and a few cancer spots elsewhere in the body can help control low-spread prostate cancer. It is for people who have not had any previous prostate cancer treatment.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether treating only a small number of prostate cancer metastases can help people with “oligorecurrent” (limited repeat) prostate cancer. It may reduce cancer activity while avoiding broader whole-body treatment for some patients.
