​Daniel Hamstra, MD, PhD, radiation oncologist, Texas Center for Proton Therapy, Texas Oncology, discusses the benefits of shorter radiotherapy treatment sessions for patients with prostate cancer.

Hamstra says that shorter regimens of radiotherapy for men whose prostates remained in tact post-surgery proved to be noninferior when compared to longer regimens. He adds that these shorter regimens are more convenient for patients, as well as more cost effective.
