Hypofractionated External Beam Radiotherapy to Boost the Prostate with ≥85 Gy/Equivalent Dose for Patients with Localised Disease at High Risk of Lymph Node Involvement: Feasibility, Tolerance and Outcome

The use of a hypofractionated IMRT boost after WPRT may allow a minimally invasive dose escalation to successfully treat patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer at high risk of lymph node involvement. Higher prostate-specific antigen values before radiotherapy may require alternative adjuvant treatments to further optimise the outcome of this high-risk group of patients.
