HYPO-RT-PC 10 year data presented at #ESTRO2025. Seven fractions def non-inferior to 39 fractions, suggestion that 7 fractions might even be more likely to cure?

⚠️ Another key finding of this study is that higher rates of metastatic prostate cancer were seen in regions with lower rates of prostate cancer diagnosis overall which may be linked to variation in the use of PSA testing.
