Radical radiotherapy of prostate cancer requires a relatively high dose to achieve an optimal tumor control probability and a reduced dose to the critical structures related to the sexual function (S_OARs) in order to avoid erectile dysfunction. The aim of this study was to perform a planning feasibility analysis of a 3-level dose prescription with Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) on the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) and with S_OARs sparing.

Abstract

Radical radiotherapy of prostate cancer requires a relatively high dose to achieve an optimal tumor control probability and a reduced dose to the critical structures related to the sexual function (S_OARs) in order to avoid erectile dysfunction. The aim of this study was to perform a planning feasibility analysis of a 3-level dose prescription with Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) on the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) and with S_OARs sparing.
