Shorter radiation therapy after prostate surgery safe, UCLA study finds

GammaTile showed superiority in the primary endpoint of the study. Patients who received GammaTile lived longer without tumor regrowth, reducing the risk of either tumor recurrence or death by 50% reduction compared to standard of care, according to interim results from the ROADS clinical trial, which evaluated GammaTile versus standard of care in patients with operable, newly diagnosed brain metastases.

Men whose prostate cancer returns after surgery or radiation therapy may now benefit from a new drug combination shown in clinical trials to cut the risk of death by more than 40%.
