Radiotherapy: Effect of treatment interruptions in prostate cancer

Patrick Kupelian. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2009 Jun.

Abstract

Treatment interruptions during radiotherapy may have a negative effect on patient outcome. D'Ambrosio et al. demonstrated that prolonging treatment duration has an adverse effect in low-risk patients with prostate cancer. Thus, limiting or modifying the overall elapsed time between treatments is necessary.
