Non-inferiority Study Comparing Salvage Pelvic Radiotherapy in 25 Fractions (62.5 Gy/25) Versus 20 Fractions (52.5 Gy/20) for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Surgery.
Study Overview This research compares two types of post-operative salvage radiotherapy (SRT) for men with prostate cancer who have had surgery but show signs of recurrence (detectable PSA). The goal is to see if a shorter treatment schedule is as safe and effective as the standard schedule.
Why is this study important? After prostate surgery, cancer can return in up to 70-80% of high-risk patients. Radiotherapy helps control this, but the best way to deliver it-especially the number of sessions and whether to treat the pelvic area-is still being studied. Shorter treatments could mean less tim
