Clinical Trial: Side Effects of Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy and Ultra-hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

U.S., Oct. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07210502) titled 'Side Effects of Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy and Ultra-hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer' on June 30.

Brief Summary: The LDR BURST trial will compare the side effects of two radiotherapy treatments for men with localised prostate cancer. The first treatment is 4D low dose rate brachytherapy where small radioactive seeds are inserted into the prostate gland under ultrasound guidance. A computerised tomography scan is subsequently performed to check seed positioning. Patients usually return home the same day. The seeds emit their radiation over several months before losing their activity.
