Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer Patients Aged 75 Years or Older.

September 29, 2022 updated by: Medical University of Graz

Clinical Study to Evaluate Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer Patients Aged 75 Years or Older.

The majority of all new prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men aged > 70 years, with the highest incidence in men aged > 90 years. Management options for localized prostate cancer include active surveillance in patients with low-risk disease, radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy.

In previous studies, hypofractionated prostate cancer irradiation regimens have been shown to represent a highly effective treatment option for prostate cancer. However, patients aged 75 years or older were underrepresented in most trials resulting in the lack of a robust evidence base.

The proposed study will evaluate radiation-induced toxicity as well as outcome after hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy in prostate cancer patients aged 75 years or older.
