FEMOSSA : Patient‐specific finite element simulation of the prostate–rectum spacer placement, a predictive model for prostate cancer radiotherapy

Purpose Major advances in delivery systems in recent years have turned radiotherapy (RT) into a more effective way to manage prostate cancer. Still, adjacency of organs at risk (OARs) can severely limit RT benefits. Rectal spacer implant in recto‐prostatic space provides sufficient separation between prostate and rectum, and therefore, the opportunity for potential dose escalation to the target and reduction of OAR dose. Pretreatment simulation...
