Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: What is the Appropriate Patient-Reported Outcome for Clinical Trial Design?

TL;DR: The prostate SBRT treatment protocol meets the RTOG 0938 criteria for moving forward to a Phase III trial comparing it to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy, and between 12 and 36 months, the proportion of patients reporting a significant decrease in both EPIC urinary and bowel domain scores declined, suggesting a late improvement in these symptom domains.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer – 5-year efficacy results

TL;DR: It is concluded that SBRT provides an efficient and convenient treatment option for patients with localized PCa, irrespective of the risk-group, and produced excellent long-term bRFS, OS and DSS outcomes.

GETUG-AFU 31: a phase I/II multicentre study evaluating the safety and efficacy of salvage stereotactic radiation in patients with intraprostatic tumour recurrence after external radiation therapy-study protocol.

TL;DR: The selected dose for salvage-SBRT will be selected using a time-to-event continual reassessment method based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) based on grade ≥3 gastrointestinal or urinary toxicity or any other grade 4 adverse event.

First Australian experience of treating localised prostate cancer patients with CyberKnife stereotactic radiotherapy: early PSA response, acute toxicity and quality of life.

TL;DR: This study is to evaluate biochemical response, acute toxicity and health‐related quality‐of‐life (QOL) outcomes among prostate cancer patients following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in the first Australian CyberKnife facility.

Stereotactic radiotherapy of the prostate: fractionation and utilization in the United States.

TL;DR: Extreme hypofractionation via SBRT is slowly increasing acceptance and currently 700-725 cGy × 5 fractions appears to be the most commonly employed scheme, which is expected to continue to increase.

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%).

Stereotactic hypofractionated accurate radiotherapy of the prostate (SHARP), 33.5 Gy in five fractions for localized disease: First clinical trial results

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.
