“Thanks to ExacTrac, the urethra, which is located in the middle of the target, was partially shielded in order to reduce the risk of urinary toxicity,” said the study principal investigator Raymond Miralbell, M.D., Professor at Geneva University Medical School and Chairman of the Radiation Oncology Department at Centro Medico Teknon in Barcelona. “Due to its speed, accuracy and reliability, ExacTrac is gaining increased popularity for prostate cancer treatment. Initial study results are positive, suggesting that SBRT is both an effective and safe treatment technique. We hope that more patients will benefit from it in the near future”.
Early analysis of treatment schedule regimens suggests that both groups are currently only showing mild urinary acute toxicities with complete resolution six weeks post treatment, indicative of a safe treatment paradigm. Treatment toxicities will continue to be recorded over the next 18 months, with the study set for completion in 2025. The study will summarize long-term findings and also cover local control, quality of life aspects, biochemical disease-free, metastases-free and disease-specific survival rates.
