Purpose: To describe the frequency and magnitude of late GI and GU morbidity in prostate
cancer patients treated to high dose levels with a simple three-dimensional conformal
technique. Methods and Materials: A total of 156 intermediate-and high-risk patients were
treated between January 1, 1992 and February 28, 1999 with a simple four-field three-
dimensional conformal technique to 79–84 Gy. All patients were treated with a four-field
conformal technique; the prostate received 82 Gy and the seminal vesicles and periprostatic …
