Case series illustrating the synergistic use of hydrogel spacer and MR-guidance to increase the radiotherapeutic index for localized prostate cancer
Background: The risk of gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity may limit the use of curative-intent radical radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa) in circumstances where morbidity of treatment may exceed an acceptable threshold. Rectal spacers are used to expand the distance between the anterior rectal...
