Stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Pooled analysis from a multi-institutional consortium of prospective phase II trials

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.

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.

A Phase II trial of arc-based hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy in localized prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Hypofractionated simplified intensity-modulated arc therapy radiotherapy given as 63.2 Gy in 20 fractions demonstrated promising biochemical control rates; however, higher rates of acute Grade 3 GU andGI toxicity and higher late Grade 2 GU and GI toxicity were noted.

The 'CaP Calculator': an online decision support tool for clinically localized prostate cancer.

TL;DR: The CaP Calculator as discussed by the authors is a decision support tool to facilitate evidence-based treatment decisions in clinically localized prostate cancer, as individualized risk assessment and shared decision-making can decrease distress and decisional regret in patients with prostate cancer.
