Men with clinically localized prostate cancer have a lower risk of biochemical failure if they receive high-dose rather than conventional-dose conformal radiation. This advantage was achieved without any associated increase in RTOG grade 3 acute or late urinary or rectal morbidity.

This RCT shows a long-term advantage in terms of freedom from biochemical failure for men with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer receiving high-dose vs. conventional dose conformal radiation delivered with mixed proton and photon beams. This advantage was achieved without any associated increase in Grade >3 late urinary or rectal morbidity.

•Thus far a conservative approach
•Similar dose levels and fractionation regimen compared to modern photon RT (IMRT, IGRT, SBRT etc.)

•
after >35 years and > 60 000 patients treated no single disease entity ever treated with protons was later found unsuitable
•no publication has raised the issue of unexpected acute or late toxicity. (exception: Taghian
et al., PBRT)
•The initial concept of physical dose distribution and biologic effectiveness has not been called into question by clinical results
•Proton-Radiotherapy has therefore successfully passed any reasonable requirements for treatment safety and feasibility.
