SBRT (MRI) Side Effects

I wonder if lengthening the interval from alternate days to two days per week or once weekly might reduce the acute urinary symptoms.? The PROSTox (MiraDx) test is geared to determine if delayed onset urinary tract symptoms may occur. [15% HIGH or < 5% LOW risk for either or both (SBRT/IMRT)]. The delayed intervals may also apply to this group as well.

Interesting comment you make on frequency of individual SBRT treatments. Originally I was told 5 treatments every other day. Then, I was told 5 treatments on five consecutive days, which is what I had. I’ve wondered why the change and if the consecutive 5-day treatment plan causes a higher incidence of side effects. I did take the DNA test and came back low risk. Maybe that is why they went 5 consecutive days?
