PLUTO-MPC Trial Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of using SBRT to treat localized prostate cancer in patients who are also candidates for post-prostatectomy radiation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with prostate cancer who've had surgery to remove the prostate but have rising PSA levels, indicating potential cancer activity. They must not have any visible remaining disease, no spread to lymph nodes or distant areas, and no previous pelvic radiation. Participants should be able to fill out health questionnaires.Check my eligibility
