I have posted this previously, has anyone’s RO said SBRT5 treatments are as efficient at minimizing side effects and curing cancer as any other radiation option ? I am scheduled to start 5 SBRT sessions at Mayo Rochester with spacer and markers in place . Pat D

My brother had the five session SBRT treatment. Four years later, he’s 80 and still around and doing just fine. He had a Gleason 4+3 and no spread.

I know a lot of other people that have had it and it worked well for them.

At the latest PCRI conference there was an RO Who discussed SBRT in detail and went into the fact that it really works better than other radiation treatments because the higher dosage kills the cancer more effectively.
