Radiation therapy after prostate surgery for advanced prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether radiation therapy to the pelvis after prostate removal helps men whose cancer was found in nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back and improve survival.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your prostate surgically removed and lymph nodes removed as well
- Cancer was found in at least one pelvic lymph node during surgery
- You are 18 years or older and in reasonably good overall health
- If you're taking hormone therapy, you started it less than a year ago
- Your blood counts and liver/kidney function are adequate
- No evidence of cancer spreading to distant parts of your body on recent imaging

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a very short course of radiation given after prostate surgery, specifically for men whose PSA is rising again. The goal is to see if this approach can safely control the cancer.
This trial studies a targeted, high-intensity radiation approach given after prostate removal surgery when prostate cancer seems to be coming back locally. It may help control the disease in the pelvis while avoiding treatment that could cause more side effects.
This trial looks at radiation therapy given after prostate surgery (or if needed later) for prostate cancer where lymph nodes were not involved. It may help patients whose PSA rises or who need additional treatment to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
This trial studies whether adding a targeted course of radiation to the prostate area after initial systemic treatment can improve outcomes for people with metastatic prostate cancer. It may help control the cancer by treating remaining disease after medicines have started working.
This trial compares surgery versus radiation for men with locally advanced prostate cancer that has not spread to distant sites. It aims to see which treatment works better and is easier to manage for people like you.
This trial uses advanced imaging to pinpoint where prostate cancer has come back after surgery, then delivers focused radiation doses to those spots while reducing radiation to healthy tissue. The goal is to control the cancer while minimizing side effects.
