The MRI guided is more accurate and affects nearby tissue less. If you’re just doing a bone, it may not matter if you’re doing a vertebrae then it could help to have the tightest radiation.

If any of the biopsy cores are Gleason 8 then you are a Gleason 8.

Proton radiation is also a possibility.

SBRT radiation has fewer sessions then IMRT or EBRT. Cyberknife SBRT is probably what they offered you however. It is what my brother had and he’s been fine. I had it on my spine and it worked well.

Thank you. He would need radiation on the prostate also if he doesn’t do surgery. Or is it an option to do surgery and still radiate the spot on the bone?
