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.

Patient-reported Quality of Life Following Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy and Conventionally Fractionated External Beam Radiotherapy Compared with Active Surveillance Among Men with Localized Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: In a nonrandomized cohort of men with localized prostate cancer, SBRT appeared to result in favorable QOL results through 2yr of follow-up, but worse sexual function and urinary incontinence compared with AS cannot be ruled out completely.

Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy for low- and intermediate risk prostate cancer: High-dose-rate brachytherapy vs stereotactic ablative radiotherapy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the biochemical control rates (BCRs), late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities in patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer (PCa) treated with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR BT) of 19.Gy/1 fraction, 26 Gy/2 fractions, or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) of 36.25 Gy/5 fractions.

Practical considerations for prostate hypofractionation in the developing world.

TL;DR: In this article, a clinical equipoise between hypofractionated schedules of radiotherapy and conventionally fractionated treatments, with the advantage of drastically shortening treatment durations with the use of Hypofractionation, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical trials of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for prostate cancer: updates and future direction.

TL;DR: This review details the various radiotherapy techniques, dose fractionation schedules and toxicities for prostate SABR, and discusses the role of conscientious focal dose escalation of the dominant intraprostatic nodule, integrating multiparametric MRI into radiotherapy protocols and finally cost-effectiveness of SBR.

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.
