Dosimetric correlations with urinary quality of life in patients receiving post-prostatectomy radiation therapy

ConclusionThere is an acute worsening of urinary symptoms among men receiving modern post-prostatectomy radiation. Worsening of urgency is associated with bladder dosimetry while flow, frequency, nocturia, and dysuria are not. This data can be used during treatment planning to reduce acute urinary toxicity during post-prostatectomy radiation.
