“…However, whatever the technique and their degree of sophistication, quality assurance plays a major role in the planning and delivery of RT Randomised studies have shown that escalating the dose into the 74-80 Gy range leads to a significant improvement in 5-year biochemical disease-free survival [62][63][64][65]. In men with intermediate-or high-risk PCa there is also evidence to support an OS benefit from a nonrandomised but well conducted propensity matched retrospective analysis covering a total of 42,481 patients [66].…”

“…Dose escalation has been adopted in radical radiotherapy of prostate cancer to make full use of its advantage of improved tumour control outcomes [13]- [20]. The current "standard" dose of primary RT for prostate cancer is now between 75 and 80 Gy, which is 10% to 20% higher than what can be safely delivered with conventional RT techniques [14].…”

“…Since many patients diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer have life expectancy longer than 10 years, the choice of RT techniques with minimized radiotherapy-related toxicity is crucial for improving quality of life [15] [21]. However, higher doses have raised the concern of increased normal tissue toxicity, such as gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity and genitourinary (GU) toxicity [13] [22].…”
