Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as a treatment for localized prostate cancer: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is a standard treatment for localized prostate cancer, with recent advancements favoring a reduced number of treatment sessions. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a form of radiotherapy that delivers higher doses per fraction, typically in five or fewer sessions. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the implementation of the PACE-SBRT protocol for localized prostate cancer at our center by assessing the incidence and severity of toxicity, as well as biochemical relapse-free survival.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with localized prostate cancer treated with SBRT at the Iridium Network in Antwerp, Belgium, who were treated between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2022. Data were extracted fro
