Vascular Optimized Radiotherapy Tuned to Critical Structures for Erectile Function Using High-Precision X-Ray Treatment
This study is testing a highly precise form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that aims to protect the nerves and blood vessels responsible for erectile function. By customizing the radiation dose for each of the five sessions, researchers hope to reduce long-term side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
This trial is looking for people with prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate or nearby pelvic lymph nodes. You must be able to manage your daily activities independently and have not previously received radiation or other major treatments for your entire prostate gland.
Participants will receive five sessions of high-precision radiation therapy using advanced imaging technology like MRI to map the area. Before each session, experts will carefully adjust the plan to fit your body's current anatomy, which helps keep the treatment focused exactly where it needs to be while avoiding sensitive areas.
The study is currently recruiting patients and is taking place at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in Los Angeles, California.
- 1The goal is to provide effective cancer treatment while better preserving sexual function.
- 2Treatment involves five high-dose radiation sessions that are customized specifically for your body.
- 3This approach uses advanced imaging to map and protect the nerves and blood vessels near the prostate.
