MR-Guided Hypofractionated Radiotherapy: Current Emerging Data and Promising Perspectives for Localized Prostate Cancer

Francesco Cuccia et al.

Summary: The biological features of prostate cancer with a low alpha beta ratio have led clinicians to consider higher doses per fraction. International clinical guidelines support moderate hypofractionated schedules, with recent data showing non-inferiority results for extreme hypofractionated schedules like five-fractions regimens. The introduction of MR-guided daily adaptive radiotherapy is a potential paradigm shift, with promising results reported in terms of tolerability and preliminary clinical outcomes.
