Radiation Therapy and IRreversible Electroporation for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer (RTIRE)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a single-site trial for 42 subjects with intermediate risk prostate cancer who undergo Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) followed by Magnetic Resonance guided Radiotherapy MRgRT. The investigators hypothesize that the combined therapy will feasible and be safe to perform with low morbidity. Ultimately, RTIRE may provide optimal treatment for intermediate risk prostate cancer patients.
