Mashup Score: 1The march toward single-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer—Quo Vadimus? - World Journal of Urology - 1 year(s) ago
Purpose Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging treatment option for localized prostate cancer. There is increasing interest to reduce the number of fractions for prostate SBRT. Methods We provide a narrative review and summary of prospective trials of different fractionation schedules for prostate SBRT, focusing on efficacy, toxicities, and quality of life outcomes. Results There…

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is a curative treatment for Localized Prostate Cancer (LPCa). Large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown moderately hypo fractionated regimens (2.5 – 3 Gy/fraction(f)) as non-inferior to 2Gy/f regimens. PACE-B aims to demonstrate non-inferiority of SBRT compared to conventionally or moderately hypo fractionated regimens for biochemical and/or clinical failure (BCF).
