Case description

Michael J. Zelefsky, MD, discusses the need for advances in molecular imaging and radiomics and for integrating these techniques with precision radiation therapy in order to improve selective dose delivery for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients. He describes evolving methods of radiation delivery, dose planning, reducing radiation exposure to normal tissues, and delineation of the dominant intraprostatic lesion in this era of dose-escalation.
