Abstract
The use of gonadal shielding during APRT with a modified dog-leg technique results in a low testicular dose that is below the likely threshold for impaired spermatogenesis. In those men wishing to preserve fertility, we recommend the use of gonadal shielding, even with the use of modern radiation therapy techniques.
