@jeffmarc Thank you for the information. Are you aware of any studies that evaluated the risk of using spacers (risk of bleeding during insertion) versus the benefit received for patients on anticoagulants

I have not seen any studies that discussed those types of problems putting in the spacer. I have never heard of anybody complain about having a problem having the spacer put in. There is apparently a very rare chance of a problem
I have attended weekly Advanced prostate cancer meetings for years And participated in more than one form like this.
Do a web search using this and see what you find
“Is there any risk to putting in spacers like SpaceOAR, Barrigel, or BioProtect for prostate cancer radiation”
