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.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

TL;DR: SBRT has the potential to reduce costs and improve patient quality of life, but in a treatment landscape with many competing options of broadly similar efficacy, randomised trials are essential to define the relative benefits of this approach.

Improved robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy plan quality and planning efficacy for organ-confined prostate cancer utilizing overlap-volume histogram-driven planning methodology

TL;DR: The improvements in APs could further reduce toxicities observed in SBRT for organ-confined prostate cancer, and this study is to determine if the overlap-volume histogram (OVH)-driven planning methodology can be adapted to robotic SbrT to further minimize the bladder and rectal doses achieved in plans manually-created by clinical planners.

The Role of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: The rationale for hypofractionation is focused on, the 5-year efficacy and toxicity outcomes from four phase III studies have been published within the last 12 months, and the evidence base for establishing moderate hyp ofractionation for localised disease as the new standard of care is presented.

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.
