Kinetics of prostate volume reduction under hormonal treatment: Timing and impact on external beam radiotherapy – A PRISMA-Compliant systematic review
Prostate volume reduction is most pronounced early in hormonal treatment, emphasizing the need to synchronize imaging and EBRT planning. For high-precision techniques (e.g., SBRT or DIL boosting), accounting for volume kinetics is critical. Clinical practice should evolve toward integrating prostate volume reduction timelines into EBRT workflows.
