Urethra-sparing prostate cancer radiotherapy: Current practices and future insights from an international survey
Urethra-sparing is a promising technique for the mitigation of urinary toxicity in prostate cancer patients undergoing EBRT, particularly recommended for ultra-hypofractionation and reirradiation with SBRT. The lack of consensus on specific urethral dose constraints and optimal sparing techniques underscores the need for further research to standardize practices in this field.
