External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an effective treatment option for low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) and it is usually delivered in conventional fractionation or with moderate hypofractionation (hRT), with comparable results. In the last years, a new treatment approach with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has shown promising results. The aim of the present study was to directly compare the toxicity and outcome between hRT and SBRT in low and favorable intermediate PCa patients.

Abstract

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an effective treatment option for low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) and it is usually delivered in conventional fractionation or with moderate hypofractionation (hRT), with comparable results. In the last years, a new treatment approach with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has shown promising results. The aim of the present study was to directly compare the toxicity and outcome between hRT and SBRT in low and favorable intermediate PCa patients.
