Title of abstract: O-T3-02 Side effects of hypofractionated radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer

Synopsis: External-beam radiotherapy (RT) is one of the treatment methods for men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. Hypofractionated RT allows targeted delivery of higher doses of radiation delivered by highly conformal image-guided techniques and rates of both acute and chronic bladder and bowel complications have been decreasing. The main objective of the presentation is to prove that hypofractionated RT is safe for the patient and should be considered as the new standart of care for localized prostate cancer.
