Has anybody here had stereotactic radiotherapy as the primary treatment for PCa and can advise their experience and what short and long term side effects they may have had?
Hi, rudge.
There are a few on the forum who've had SBRT.
Recent American research shows:
For patients with intermediate-risk, localized prostate cancer, radiation therapy delivered in five sessions reduced patient-reported side effects compared to longer courses of radiation, according to results of a large, randomized phase III trial. Patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) reported fewer declines in bowel, urinary and sexual functioning but were more likely to experience a rise in prostate-specific antigen

Good luck, mate. 👍
