Men who are
diagnosed with prostate cancer are very likely to find that some form of
radiation treatment is recommended to help ensure this disease is effectively
tackled. While radiation can present with the potential for side effects, this
option is one of the most effective for killing off cancer cells. Some forms of
radiation therapy, however, may increase the risks for side effects.
Researchers are finding, in fact, that hypofractionated radiotherapy may
present with a greater risk of late toxicity than conventional radiation treatment
methods.
