Is Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy (CFRT) mentioned on mirakind.org/prostox-testing/ the same as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)? Specifically, does the CFRT test indicate if I am at high or low risk for IMRT?
If the result of SBRT test indicates high risk, can I opt for IMRT instead?"
If you are likely to be highly radiosensitive based on Prostox, your RO may spread out your treatments to either conventionally fractionated (~44 treatments) or moderately hypofractionated (~26 treatments) instead of extremely hypofractionated (5 treatments).
Thank you, Tall_Allen. So the CFRT test is basically useless. The results of the SBRT test alone should give me a good idea of which radiation treatment to choose.
I would think that is your risk is high for SBRT, it is low for CFRT. If they are both high risk, maybe consider prostatectomy?
If they are both high risk, would moderately hypofractionated (~26 treatments) be an option?
No.
I had the test and was also high risk for SBRT. Dr Kishan recommended 20 treatments and all went well.
thank you LongevityAT
