Extreme Hypofractionation versus Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: Early Toxicity Results from the Scandinavian Randomized Phase III Trial “HYPO-RT-PC”

• Prostate cancer is postulated to have high radiation-fractionation sensitivity, which suggests a potential therapeutic benefit for hypofractionated (HF) radiotherapy (RT). Results from randomized studies investigating efficacy and side effects of moderately hypofractionated (M-HF) schedules have recently been reported in the literature. Data from randomized trials with extreme hypofractionation (E-HF) are however hitherto lacking. We here report two-year toxicity results from the Scandinavian multicenter phase III trial (HYPO-RT-PC) comparing E-HF with conventional fractionation (CF).
