I *think* that both the pro and con of IMRT is that it affects a larger area than SBRT or Proton — is that right?

It would be a con if you wanted to minimise collateral damage in the pelvic area, but a pro if there was concern that there might already be some local spread (if I understand correctly).

@northoftheborder That is my understanding as well.
