Official title Evaluation of Tumor Control Based on Serial Multiparametric MRI and Post-Treatment Biopsies For Patients Treated With Dose Intensification to the Dominant Intra-Prostatic Lesion (DIL) Using Ultra-Hypofractionated, MR-Guided Radiotherapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06542757
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of this MR-guided radiotherapy on tumor control of the dominant intraprostatic lesion among patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer. This study of Radiotherapy to the Prostate and Dominant Lesion Using Ultra-Hypofractionated, MR-adaptive Radiation Therapy aims to evaluate tumor control after definitive ultra-hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy (including a simultaneously delivered high-dose boost to a dominant lesion as detected on prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
