Is SBRT right for you?

If you're interested in SBRT for prostate cancer treatment, talk with your healthcare team. They can explain whether you're a good candidate and review the possible benefits and disadvantages. Together, you can consider whether SBRT fits with your treatment goals.

You might consider SBRT if:

• You have good bowel, bladder and sexual function.
• You prefer to avoid surgery.
• You want to finish treatment in less time.

More people with early-stage prostate cancer are choosing SBRT for its convenience. Early research shows that it works as well as other radiation treatments. More research is needed to confirm that these results hold up over time, but current findings are encouraging.
