The main rectal tumor regression occurs during CRT course itself, and mostly in the first half, with shrinking speed decreasing over the course. This suggests that a sequential boost is preferably done after the elective fields, yielding an average PTV-reduction of 39%. A simultaneous integrated boost strategy could benefit from adaptive planning during the course.
By providing optimal LC, low toxicity and a promising PFS in CS patients, the current retrospective study illustrated that Ga PSMA PET-CT-guided RT may be an attractive treatment strategy in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. Validation by randomized trials is eagerly awaited.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
