Smartphone reminders for bladder filling during prostate radiation
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone app that reminds you to fill your bladder before each radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Keeping your bladder comfortably full during treatment may help protect surrounding organs and improve accuracy.

Who can take part
- You have a type of prostate cancer that is considered high-risk.
