BACKGROUND: Compelling evidence exists for the iso-effectiveness and safety of moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy (Hypo-RT) schedules [1, 2]. However, international guidelines are not congruent regarding recommendation of ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy (UHF-RT) to all risk groups.
METHODS: The current review gives an overview of clinically relevant toxicity extracted from major randomized controlled trials (RCT) trials comparing conventional to hypofractionated regimes in the primary setting of external photon radiation. Functional impairments are reported by using physician-rated and patient-reported scores using validated questionnaires.
RESULTS: The uncertain radiobiology of the urethra/bladder when applying extreme hypofractionation may have contributed to worse acute urinary toxicity score in the Scandinavian UHF-RT and worse subacute toxicity in PACE-B. The observed trend of increased acute GI toxicity in several moderate Hypo-RT trials and one UHF-RT trial, the Scandinavian Hypo-RT PC trial, could be associated to the different planning margins and radiation dose schedules.
CONCLUSION: Nevertheless, Hypo-RT has gained ground for patients with localized PCa and further improvements may be achieved by inclusion of genetically assessed radiation sensitivity. Several RCTs in Hypo-RT have shown non-inferior outcome and well-tolerated treatment toxicity by physician-rated scores. In the future, we suggest that toxicity should be measured by patient-reported outcome (PRO) using comparable questionnaires.
