Sphincter-saving surgery for failed organ preservation after a neoadjuvant therapy and radiation boost: A surgeon's perspective
This study highlights the detrimental impact of BoRT on functional status, underscoring the importance of comprehensive patient counselling before initiating BoRT in candidates eligible for sphincter preservation. If optimal outcomes are not achieved following brachytherapy boost, surgical options like ISR or APR should be thoroughly discussed with patients to ensure informed decision-making.
