@islander2025
It really does look like a great way to do this treatment. I have just never heard of any of the people in all of the meetings I go to discussing the fact that they had it.
I will actually ask about this in meetings To see what people’s results were.

@islander2025 You are going to hear many acronyms all for the same thing: EBRT, IMRT, VMAT, IGRT.
They all use programmed treatments based on your simulation visit; all attempt to minimize tissue toxicity, and all need a full bladder and empty rectum.
They usually involve 20-40 sessions depending on the preferences of the RO and your particular needs. Hope that helps,
