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.

Intensity-modulated fractionated radiotherapy versus stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PACE-B): acute toxicity findings from an international, randomised, open-label, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.

TL;DR: The results suggest that substantially shortening treatment courses with stereotactic body radiotherapy does not increase either gastrointestinal or genitourinary acute toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereotactic body radiotherapy with or without external beam radiation as treatment for organ confined high-risk prostate carcinoma: a six year study.

TL;DR: SBRT appears to be a safe and effective treatment for high-risk prostate carcinoma and the data suggests that SBRT alone may be the optimal approach.

Prostate alpha/beta revisited – an analysis of clinical results from 14 168 patients

TL;DR: The results indicate that the high fractionation sensitivity is an intrinsic property of prostate carcinomas and they support the use of hypofractionation to increase the therapeutic gain for these tumours.

Health-related quality of life after stereotactic body radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer: results from a multi-institutional consortium of prospective trials.

TL;DR: Long-term outcome demonstrates that prostate SBRT is well tolerated and has little lasting impact on health-related quality of life (QOL) outcomes among prostate cancer patients following stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for organ-confined prostate cancer

TL;DR: Preliminary results following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer are highly encouraging and additional follow-up is needed to determine long-term biochemical control and maintenance of low toxicity and QOL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute and Late Toxicity in a Randomized Trial of Conventional Versus Hypofractionated Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the hypofractionation regimen used in this study is safe, with only a slight, nonsignificant increase in tolerable and temporary acute toxicity compared with the conventional fractionation schedule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy in carcinoma of the prostate: five-year outcome analysis.

TL;DR: These data indicate that the delivery of a relatively low total dose using a hypofractionated regime results in similar tumor control and normal-tissue toxicity to 65-70 Gy delivered in 1.8-2 Gy fractions, and suggest that this is an acceptable regime for good-prognosis patients.
