Description
Bryan Schaly and co-authors measured how far patients shift on the treatment table during pelvis radiation, using data from the HOPE trial. The 2026 analysis covers fifty-four prostate cancer patients at one center. The trial compared five weeks of standard treatment with a short course of five sessions.
Markers placed in the prostate let staff line patients up with daily scans. Shifts for the prostate were slightly smaller in the short course, while shifts for nearby lymph nodes were about the same in both groups. The authors find the standard safety margin around the nodes is right, but the margin around the prostate could shrink. They urge each center to measure its own setup errors.
