Description
Prostate radiation in the United States is usually spread over five strong doses, and a pilot trial asked whether just two doses could do the job safely. Xinglei Shen and co-authors ran that pilot in this 2025 paper. Twelve patients with low- to medium-risk prostate cancer were enrolled.
Each patient got two large doses a few days apart, with a small device placed to protect nearby organs. Safety and early cancer control were the main measures. Two visits instead of five would ease travel and cost for patients and free machine time for clinics. Pilot results cannot prove equal cure rates, but they can show whether a larger trial is justified, which is the authors stated aim.
