Prescribing Decisions
Selecting prostate cancer radiation therapy
Our radiation oncologists routinely use IMRT. Proton therapy is not available to my knowledge. Androgen deprivation therapy is used where indicated based on disease risk and prostate size. We are careful to counsel patients regarding both short term and long-term toxicity. We have had patients with radiation induced fistulae as well as secondary malignancies in the treatment field.
