September 2018
Executive summary
A study by the Seattle group analyzed 231 patients of localized prostate cancer treated with protons. Median follow-up was 1.7 years. Grade 3 toxicity was seen in 5/192 patients. No grade 4 or 5 toxicity was seen. Patient reported quality-of-life showed no change in urinary function post-radiation by IPSS scores.
Only younger age was associated with decreased sexual toxicity. EPIC bowel domain scores declined from 96 at baseline (median) by an average of 5.4 points at 1-year post-treatment, with no further decrease over time.
