Toxicity, quality of life, and PSA control after 50 Gy stereotactic body radiation therapy to the dominant intraprostatic nodule with the use of a rectal spacer: results of a phase I/II study

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a phase I/II prospective trial to determine whether stereotactic dose escalation to the dominant intra-prostatic nodule (DIN) up to 50 Gy incorporating a rectal balloon spacer is safe, does not affect patient quality of life, and preserves local control in patients with intermediate-high risk PCa.

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%).
