Sean Sachdev, MD, Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine discusses the adavancements of the rapidly emerging modality for the treatment of localized prostate cancer; Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) and how the recently advances in radiation delivery technology is creating an effective, safe, and highly convenient form of curative therapy.

So cancer in two separate lesions in separate areas of the prostate is a no go .

That is not what I am told. I have two small lesions, we have been surveilling them for the last two years, but a recent biopsy showed that there were some traces of 3+4 in 11 out of 18 sectors in my prostate, not lesions, but positive results in the biopsy. I am scheduled to have Mridian SBRT 5 session photon radiation treatment in about a month from now. I am guessing that they will focus on each of the lesions while doing the treatment, but they will also treat the entire prostate to make sure they eliminate all the cancer.
