Abstract
Patient-reported outcomes are important as they give a direct indication of the impact of a disease and its treatment on patients’ quality of life (QOL)[1]. With advances in radiotherapy and improved tumour outcomes in recent years, minimising treatment-related toxicities after treatment is increasingly important [2, 3]. During prostate SABR, the potential exists for movement of the rectum and bladder, as these are mobile organs at risk (OARs). This study explored whether pre-fraction CBCTs provided a better indication of patient-reported QOL scores, as measured by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), than the planning CT for patients in a randomised trial of SABR±elective nodal irradiation in high-risk prostate cancer (SPORT trial).
