A treatment planning study of urethra-sparing intensity-modulated proton therapy for localized prostate cancer

Background and Purpose: Urethra-sparing radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer can reduce the risk of radiation-induced genitourinary toxicity by intentionally underdosing the periurethral transitional zone. We aimed to compare the clinical impact of a urethra-sparing intensity-modulated pr...
