@animate Typically 3-10 treatments are SBRT (5-10 Gys per fraction) while 20-45 treatments are IMRT (1.8-3.5 Gys per fraction with higher Gys for lower number of fractions). At 37 fractions the dose is about 2 (ask your RO). You can ask RO if it would be better to use 20-28 hypo-fractions at a higher dose but 37 for IMRT salvage radiation is not unusual.

@jim18
Tahnks Jim for explaining both Lupron and Orgovyx and also possible RT protocols. Do you know if more sessions with less radiation is better for preventing side effects ?
