Men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer may benefit more from a
shorter duration of hypofractionated radiation therapy (HRT) than from
standard radiation therapy. With both types of radiation therapy, the
total amount of radiation is given in multiple sessions over a set
period. Compared with standard radiation therapy, HRT uses larger doses
over a shorter period of time.
A study in the Nov. 4, 2017, European Urology Focus analyzed
data of 3,553 men with prostate cancer, 65% of whom had
intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The men were randomized to get either
a one-month program of HRT or the standard radiation treatment regimen
given over two months. After an average of five to six years, the
intermediate-risk men who had HRT were less likely than men who got
standard radiation therapy to have their prostate cancer return.
