EP-1223: Endorectal balloons in prostate cancer radiotherapy: effects on seminal vesicle positioning
Year: 2015
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: S6623rd ESTRO Forum 2015 sites was prescribed.No upstaging of low risk patients to a higher risk was observed.Conclusions: Our results have shown that Cho-PET seem to be a promising diagnostic tool in prostate cancer patients who are candidates to radical radiotherapy and supporting the decision making in treatment planning, in particular in intermediate-high risk.Although a simultaneous integrated boost on Cho-PET positive sites is still under investigation, it could be a possible option to intensify local radiation treatment in this setting.
