Stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Pooled analysis from a multi-institutional consortium of prospective phase II trials

TLDR
PSA relapse-free survival rates after SBRT compare favorably with other definitive treatments for low and intermediate risk patients, and the current evidence supports consideration of S BRT among the therapeutic options for these patients.

Is Biochemical Relapse-free Survival After Profoundly Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Consistent with Current Radiobiological Models?

TL;DR: Current radiobiological models provide accurate predictions of biochemical relapse-free survival, even when profoundly hypofractionated patients are included in the analysis.

Early Results of Extreme Hypofractionation Using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for High-risk, Very High-risk and Node-positive Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: SBRT is safe in the treatment of high-risk, very high- risk and node-positive prostate cancer, even with prophylactic pelvic radiotherapy or prior transurethral resection of prostate.

Late urinary toxicity modeling after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the definitive treatment of localized prostate cancer.

TL;DR: NTCP modeling of late urinary flare after ultra-hypofractionated prostate SBRT demonstrates a relatively small volume effect for dose to the bladder, suggesting that reduction of volume receiving elevated dose will result in decreased incidence ofLate urinary toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical characteristics and management of late urinary symptom flare following stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

TL;DR: The clinical features of late urinary symptom flare are characterized and conservative symptom management approaches that may alleviate the associated bother are recommended and provision of appropriate anticipatory counseling and the maintenance of prophylactic alpha-antagonists may limit the bother associated with this syndrome.

Long-term outcomes from a prospective trial of stereotactic body radiotherapy for low-risk prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Significant late bladder and rectal toxicities from SBRT for prostate cancer are infrequent and the current evidence supports consideration of stereotactic body radiotherapy among the therapeutic options for localized prostate cancer.

Hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (70 Gy at 2.5 Gy per fraction) for localized prostate cancer: Cleveland Clinic experience.

TL;DR: The outcomes after high-dose hypofractionation were acceptable in the entire cohort of patients treated with the schedule of 70 at 2.5 Gy/fraction and the 5-year nadir + 2 ng/mL rate was 83% (95% confidence interval, 79–86%).

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility and toxicity of stereotactic hypofractionated accurate radiotherapy (SHARP) for localized prostate cancer were evaluated in a Phase I/II trial with 40 patients.
