Patterns and Predictors of Distant Failure After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer: A Retrospective Multi-Institutional Analysis

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a promising modality for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) and involves the delivery of ablative doses of radiation to the prostate. The patterns of failure at the time of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after SBRT remain unknown. The purpose of this study is to explore the development of distant metastasis (DM) following the diagnosis of BCR.We queried a multi-institutional database of...
