Quality of life after radiotherapy for prostate cancer with a hydrogel spacer – five year results

Spacers are increasingly placed between the prostate and rectal wall before prostate cancer radiotherapy. Long-term clinical results are needed to better define a possible benefit for patients. The first five-year quality of life results in a group of prostate cancer patients treated with a hydrogel spacer demonstrate excellent treatment tolerability, in particular regarding bowel problems, superior to the results of a control group treated conventionally.
