The Role of Pelvic Node Irradiation in Node Positive Prostate Cancer; the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) Experience 2011 –2015

Purpose: The role of pelvic nodal irradiation in prostate cancer remains controversial. Nevertheless, many high-risk patients are treated with prostate and pelvis radiotherapy in addition to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) [1]. A recent retrospective study [2] and data from the UK Stampede control arm [3] suggest that radiotherapy may be of benefit to node positive patients. The aim of our study was to document outcomes in patients with node positive prostate cancer treated with pelvic nodal radiotherapy in a UK cancer centre.
