PEARLS Trial - Radiotherapy Prostate

Hello, my dad has recently been offered radiotherapy as a part of the pearls trial. He has prostate cancer and has been on hormone therapy for the past year.

We have been reading up on PEARLS and are keen to speak to anyone who has had pearls radiotherapy treatment - how did it go? How are you feeling? Or anyone who knows more about this specific trial and the success rates. There isn’t a great deal of information online so we are hoping to connect / speak to others about it. Thank you very much. 

  • Hi Pear,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It sounds like you have already probably read this, but we have information on our website about the PEARLS trial.

    If there are others on the forum or searching online who may have more information or relevant experience about this then hopefully they'll see your post and send a reply.

    Do of course discuss any questions you have with the relevant doctor involved in your dad's care.

    You are also welcome to post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum to hear from one of our nurses, although they may not be able to add anything further than what you have already researched.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
