| Abstract:: |
| The organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing plays a critical role in radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Given their immediate proximity to the prostate gland anatomically, the bladder and rectum are identified as significant dose-sparing objects in radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Increasing radiation doses might lead to elevated risks of adverse reactions, such as radiation cystitis and proctitis, which significantly affect the quality of life (QoL) of patients. This paper reviews the OAR sparing strategies in radiotherapy for prostate cancer, aiming to effectively reduce radiation doses to the bladder and rectum and minimize the incidence of adverse reactions. This will help improve the QoL of patients. |
