Abstract
The data show lower late pelvic symptoms after radiotherapy among non-smokers and physically active individuals with a body mass index <25. Although these results would ideally require confirmation in a prospective study, we now include advice on lifestyle in our pre-radiotherapy information pack. The high percentage of obesity and inactivity among this cohort of prostate cancer survivors revealed in this study has prompted the development of an exercise/weight reduction programme in our unit.
