PSMA-Guided Radiation for Limited Prostate Cancer Return
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether targeted radiation to the lymph nodes in the belly can help men whose prostate cancer has returned in just a few spots after prior radiation. You must have had a PSMA PET/CT scan showing the cancer is limited to pelvic or belly lymph nodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer that has come back in a few spots (5 or fewer) only in the lymph nodes in your belly or pelvis.
- You have had a PSMA PET/CT scan that shows the cancer is only in these lymph nodes, and each spot is smaller than 5 cm.
- You have had radiation therapy to the prostate area before, and your cancer responded to it.
- You have not had hormone therapy or chemotherapy in the last 3 months, and your cancer is still hormone-sensitive.
- You are generally in good health (able to take care of yourself), and you are willing to fill out quality-of-life forms.

This trial uses a special scan (PSMA-PET) to find where prostate cancer has returned after surgery. Then doctors give a lower dose of radiation only to that area, which may reduce side effects. It is for men whose PSA level is rising after prostate removal.
This trial uses a special PET scan (POSLUMA) before and after radiation to see if it helps treat prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the pelvis. It's for men whose cancer still responds to hormone therapy and who have not had widespread spread.
This trial tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET) can help doctors aim and adjust radiation more precisely when prostate cancer returns after surgery. It may help by increasing dose to areas that look involved while lowering dose to uninvolved pelvic areas.
This trial tests a type of targeted radiation (SBRT) for prostate cancer that has come back only in certain lymph nodes around the belly or hip. The goal is to see if adapting the radiation plan during treatment can make the response last longer.
This trial tests whether using a specialized PSMA PET scan to guide radiation can better treat prostate cancer that returns after prostate surgery. It targets the “prostate bed” area with a shorter, stronger radiation schedule (hypofractionated) to control rising PSA levels.
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
