2022 Annual Meeting - Boosting High-risk Prostate Cancer: What Are the Options?

Different practitioners will utilize radiation therapy to treat high risk prostate cancer in different ways and with different modalities. There are a number of approaches that are appropriate in this setting. This proposed session will review the latest evidence on different methods to boost the prostate in high-risk prostate cancer. Options that will be reviewed will include the utilization of LDR or HDR brachytherapy, or SBRT. Quality of life and other considerations of scenarios in which a particular approach would be reasonable will be reviewed as well. We plan to review new data which may indicate novel ways to determine how aggressively to boost a particular patient depending on parameters of their disease and individual patient considerations.

Target Audience

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation physicists, nurses and radiation oncology residents.

Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

    • Determine which modalities are appropriate to utilize when boosting high-risk prostate cancer.
    • Based on patient characteristics, assess which patients require a boost, and which approach is most appropriate for a given clinical scenario.
