Nodal recurrence patterns on PET/CT after RTOG-based nodal radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

Conclusions: Current RT with RTOG-based nodal fields for PCN+ provides good in-field tumour control, but frequent out-field nodal recurrences suggest missed microscopic locations. Expanding elective fields to include the aorta bifurcation may prolong recurrence-free survival. Future research must address whether the potential benefits of this strategy outbalance additional toxicity. PMID: 32154392 [PubMed]
