Techniques for Reducing Toxicity After SBRT
Abstract
The goal of any effective radiotherapeutic regimen is to deliver optimal tumoricidal doses with minimal subsequent toxicity. In order to accomplish this goal, careful patient selection, simulation, treatment planning, and radiation delivery are required. This is particularly important when delivering ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy with SBRT. In this chapter, we review strategies that may be used to reduce toxicity of SBRT for prostate cancer.
