@brianjarvis Totally, that’s why it is recommended to radiate the pelvic nodes as well ((SPORTT trial); that’s another place that has cancer cells 30% of the time.
The remaining 30% could be anywhere but in cases where PSA < .2 it’s usually (and hopefully) somewhere between the umbilicus and the groin area.
SRT usually blankets this area, though some may consider it overkill…Best,
