This book offers a comprehensive evaluation of the use of
stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) for the treatment of prostate
cancer. The rationale, selection criteria, and treatment planning
for prostate SBRT are explained. Important imaging and anatomic
considerations are discussed, and detailed consideration devoted to
organ motion and tumor tracking during SBRT. Outcomes of therapy
are then examined, with thorough appraisal of side effect profiles
and quality of life impacts. Clear guidance is provided on how to
deliver the therapy in a way that minimizes the risk of long-term
urinary and rectal toxicities. Stereotactic radiosurgery for
prostate cancer is an increasingly used form of treatment.
Retrospective investigations have demonstrated the safe application
of high-dose treatments, with 5-year results comparable to those
achieved with protracted external beam radiotherapy. Prospective
studies are underway comparing SBRT with more traditional forms of
image-guided and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. In offering
in-depth guidance on safe delivery of prostate SBRT, this book will
be of value for students of radiation oncology, more experienced
practitioners, and medical physicists.
