Frequently Asked Questions
Is radiation as effective as surgery for prostate cancer?
Yes, for localized prostate cancer, radiation therapy (IMRT/SBRT) provides long-term cure rates that are entirely comparable to surgical removal, but without the risks of major surgery.
What are the side effects of prostate radiation?
Modern IMRT and SBRT significantly reduce side effects. You may experience temporary urinary frequency or mild bowel changes during treatment, but these typically resolve shortly after the treatment ends.
Can prostate cancer be treated in just 5 days?
Yes, using SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy), we deliver a highly concentrated dose of radiation over just 5 sessions. This is a standard and highly effective approach for many prostate cancer patients.
Will I become incontinent after radiation?
Severe incontinence is exceedingly rare with modern radiation techniques like VMAT and SBRT, making it an excellent option for preserving quality of life.
