Impact of prostate position-based image-guidance in intensity-modulated radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer

ConclusionsThe use of P-IGRT with higher doses and smaller margins was correlated with significantly better biochemical control, and a lower incidence of rectal bleeding in IMRT for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The enhanced accuracy using P-IGRT has the potential to independently improve disease control and reduce late rectal bleeding.
