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.

Highly hypofractionated schedules for localized prostate cancer: Recommendations of the GETUG radiation oncology group.

TL;DR: Based on the current available literature, the French Genito-Urinary Group (GETUG) suggests that Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) has become treatment option for localized prostate cancer but the evidence base remains incomplete as discussed by the authors .

Variability of α/β ratios for prostate cancer with the fractionation schedule: caution against using the linear-quadratic model for hypofractionated radiotherapy

TL;DR: In this paper , the maximum likelihood principle in mathematical statistics was used to fit the parameters: α and β values in the tumor control probability (TCP) formula derived from the linear-quadratic (LQ) model.

Treatment outcome and compliance to dose-intensified linac-based SBRT for unfavorable prostate tumors using a novel real-time organ-motion tracking.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report preliminary data on treatment outcome and compliance to dose-intensified organ sparing SBRT for prostate cancer using a novel electromagnetic transmitter-based tracking system (RayPilotO System).

Reduction of rectal toxicity in prostate cancer radiation therapy by implantable rectum spacers

TL;DR: This dissertation examines how to minimise gastrointestinal side effects of external prostate cancer radiation therapy by using a rectum spacer (a balloon that shifts the rectum away from the prostate), i.e. safely increasing radiation doses with a higher chance of cure but without producing more side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Five-year outcomes of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer: the largest experience in China

TL;DR: SBRT is an efficient and safe treatment modality for localized PCa with high 5-year bPFS rates and acceptable toxicities and this is the largest-to-date pilot study to report 5- year outcomes of SBRT for localizedPCa from China.

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.
