- Abstract
This study presents the short-term outcomes of conformal external beam radiation therapy given in conjunction with hormone therapy to 110 patients with prostate cancer. We performed a comparative analysis of the rate and degree of radiation reactions and complications following delivery of a total dose of 70 Gy and 72-76 Gy to the tumor. In prostate cancer, a continuous course of dose-escalated conformal radiation therapy resulted in satisfactory tolerance and acceptable levels of late complications.
