iSMART Trial Summary

This trial aims to compare a new shorter treatment for prostate cancer using ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) with the standard treatment. The new treatment involves only 2 sessions over

Who is the study for?
Men with confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma, classified as low risk (T1-T2b, grade group 1, PSA <10 ng/ml) or favorable intermediate risk. Intermediate risk is defined by only one factor: cT2c, grade group 2, PSA between 10-20 ng/ml; or Grade group 3 with PSA <20 and <cT2c where pattern 4/5 is less than 10%.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares two different schedules of delivering radiation for prostate cancer treatment. One uses the standard five sessions of SABR while the experimental approach condenses this into just two treatments a week apart to see if it's equally effective.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation can cause side effects such as fatigue, skin reactions in treated areas, urinary issues like increased frequency or discomfort during urination, bowel changes including diarrhea or rectal bleeding.
