Executive summary
A retrospective analysis on 100 patients' acute and late genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities associated with post-prostatectomy proton therapy. Acute and late maximum toxicities, respectively were: GU grade 0 (14%; 18%), 1 (71%; 62%), 2 (15%; 20%), ≥3 (0), and GI: grade 0 (66%; 73%), 1 (34%; 27%), ≥2 (0).
This study concluded that post-prostatectomy PT for prostate cancer is feasible with a favorable GU and GI toxicity profile acutely and through early follow up.
