Preliminary patient‐reported outcomes analysis of 3‐dimensional radiation therapy versus intensity‐modulated radiation therapy on the high‐dose arm of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0126 prostate cancer trial

Abstract

Despite significant reductions in dose and volume to normal structures using IMRT, this robust analysis of 3D-CRT and IMRT demonstrated no difference in patient-reported bowel, bladder, or sexual functions for similar doses delivered to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles with IMRT compared with 3D-CRT delivered either to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles or to the prostate alone.
