At today’s PCRI conference they discussed the fact that SBRT radiation is just as effective as EBRT.

If it has not spread outside the prostate, you can get it done in five sessions instead of 20 or more. It is much preferred to get MRI guided SBRT.

SBRT is now considered a standard of care option for prostate cancer in the United States
• SBRT is supported by multiple high-level studies:
• HYPO-RT-PC
• PACE-B
• UCLA-Led General Consortium Study
• UCLA-Led SHARP Consortium (high risk disease)

Apparently, the fact that SBRT uses a higher level of radiation is really beneficial in killing cancer cells.

They did mention that if you have seeds implanted they can get even more radiation at one time. It is very effective and can cause fewer side effects.

Great ,thanks. I will see the Radiologist-Oncologist after the PSMA test result next week, so I will discuss with him all the available options.
