Comparing radiation therapy methods for prostate cancer

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 trial compares two types of radiation treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It tests whether adding a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor helps control the cancer better than standard radiation alone.

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 study looks at a type of radiation therapy called HDR brachytherapy for men with low-risk or slightly higher risk prostate cancer. It aims to understand how your genes affect treatment outcomes.

This study tests adding a targeted “boost” of HDR (high-dose-rate) internal radiation to the prostate along with standard external beam radiation. It may help improve cancer control while keeping the treatment focused on the area seen on scans and biopsy.

This study tests a stronger, focused radiation plan for intermediate to higher-risk prostate cancer. It combines a high-dose internal radiation “boost” with external radiation to try to improve cancer control while keeping side effects manageable.
