Abstract:ObjectivesTo identify risk factors for the long‐term persistent genitourinary toxicity (GUT) after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for localized prostate cancer (PCa).MethodsA total of 306 patients who underwent SBRT at our institution between March 2017 and April 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. SBRT was performed at 35 Gy in five fractions over 5 or 10 days. Factors related to the long‐term persistence of acute GUT after SBRT were analyzed.ResultsDuring the median follow‐up period of 39.1 mont… Show more
