Influence of modern imaging techniques on management of locally and oligometastatic recurrent prostate cancer with Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Abstract

Evaluation of the role of novel imaging techniques in the utilisation of stereotactic radiotherapy for recurrent prostate cancer.

The current evidence surrounding the diagnosis, management, and areas of clinical need in recurrent prostate cancer are outlined.

Studies evaluating the role of novel imaging techniques in stereotactic radiotherapy are outlined,

1. Interobserver variation in target volume delineation for stereotactic radiotherapy to non-spinal bone metastases in prostate cancer: CT, MRI and PET/CT fusion 2. Prostate cancer recurrence after primary radiation therapy: A retrospective comparison of detection and outcomes after PSMA and Choline PET/CT 3. Analysis of outcomes of patients treated with SBRT to recurrent oligometastases: focus on long term survivors and diagnostic imaging 4. Planning study of local prostate cancer recurrence after primary radiotherapy: Partial vs whole gland robotic SBRT

Evaluation of evidence provided and influence on the field is described.
