Summary

This trial is testing a new, more focused type of radiotherapy to see if it improves outcomes for patients with cancer who are negative on conventional imaging but positive on PSMA PET scan.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with hormone-sensitive, oligometastatic prostate cancer visible on PSMA PET-CT but not on conventional imaging. They must have a good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), up to 3 areas of metastasis treatable by SBRT, and controlled primary tumor without progression. Excluded are those with castrate-resistant cancer, spinal cord compression, recent ADT for palliation or other cancers in the past 5 years.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to hormone therapy improves outcomes in patients with specific types of advanced prostate cancer that's still responsive to hormones and has limited spread as seen on specialized scans.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from radiation like skin irritation, fatigue, urinary issues, and bowel problems; plus hormonal treatment side effects such as hot flashes, sexual dysfunction, bone thinning and mood changes.
