Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided vs Computed Tomography-Guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer The MIRAGE Randomized Clinical Trial

Amar U. Kishan et al.

Summary: MRI-guided SBRT significantly reduces acute grade 2 or greater GU toxic effects and GI toxic effects compared to CT-guided SBRT. This randomized clinical trial provides evidence for the benefits of MRI guidance in prostate cancer treatment. Further follow-up is needed to confirm the long-term effects.

Cancer statistics, 2022

Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

SBRT for Localized Prostate Cancer: CyberKnife vs. VMAT-FFF, a Dosimetric Study

Marcello Serra et al.

Summary: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has become a popular method for treating medium and low risk prostate cancer. It offers high doses of radiation in a small number of fractions, taking advantage of the prostate's different radiosensitivity compared to healthy tissues. SBRT treatment has been shown to provide a better quality of life compared to surgery. The study compared two SBRT techniques, CyberKnife (CK) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and found that while CK had better dose delivery, VMAT-FFF offered shorter delivery time and showed promise as an alternative SBRT technique for localized prostate cancer.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PACE-B): 2-year toxicity results from an open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial

Alison C. Tree et al.

Summary: The PACE-B trial showed that 2-year toxicity rates were similar for five fraction SBRT and conventional schedules of radiotherapy in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. SBRT was found to be safe and associated with low rates of side effects. The study highlights the potential of SBRT as an effective treatment option for prostate cancer.

Prostate Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: An Overview of Toxicity and Dose Response

Kyle Wang et al.

Summary: Multiple studies have shown that prostate SBRT therapy is well tolerated overall with mainly mild to moderate toxicities and very low incidence of severe toxicities. Side effects are influenced by both dosimetric and non-dosimetric factors. Further research is needed to explore tolerance doses in the future.

Prostate Cancer, Version 1.2021 Featured Updates to the NCCN Guidelines

Edward Schaeffer et al.

Summary: The NCCN Guidelines for Prostate Cancer provide recommendations for staging and risk assessment post-diagnosis, with management options for localized, regional, and metastatic disease. The guidelines also cover disease monitoring and treatment of recurrent disease. The NCCN Prostate Cancer Panel meets annually to update recommendations based on new clinical data, aiming to provide the most effective care for patients.

Comparison of Physician-recorded Toxicities and Patient-reported Outcomes of Five Different Radiotherapy Methods for Prostate Cancer

Makoto Ito et al.

Summary: After comparing five radiotherapy methods for prostate cancer, it was found that high-dose-rate brachytherapy performed better in terms of genitourinary toxicities, while ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy showed inferior results in this aspect. In addition, a higher symptom score peak was noted after low-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for Japanese patients with localized prostate cancer: 2-year results and predictive factors for acute genitourinary toxicities

Makoto Ito et al.

Summary: This study reported the 2-year results of stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer and identified clinical and dosimetric factors predicting acute genitourinary toxicities. The findings suggest that stereotactic body radiation therapy is feasible for Japanese patients with prostate cancer and is associated with acceptable acute toxicity. Age, genitourinary toxicity at baseline, and bladder mean dose were identified as predictors of grade 2 acute genitourinary toxicity.
