Hypofractionation

[Fox2018]

From my cancer center's website:

"We believe delivering high quality clinical care should be convenient for our patients. Our radiation oncologists have worked to help pioneer an advanced treatment technique that is quickly becoming a standard of care for prostate cancer patients.

It’s called hypofractionation.

Using hypofractionation, or hypofractionated radiation therapy, more doses of radiation are delivered per treatment, so patients can complete their course of radiation therapy much faster than conventional treatment and costs patients less money."

Does anyone have experience with this treatment?

I had it done in 5 treatments 8 years ago. Anyone who tells you you need 40 or more treatments better have a good reason other than just padding their wallets.
