PG - 370-372 LID - 10.4081/aiua.2021.3.370 [doi] AB - To the Editor, Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in Morocco after lung cancer. External radiotherapy (RTE) is a curative therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer, However the conventional RTE remains a long treatment (7- 8 weeks, 5 days a week) which is demanding for patients and make difficult to manage the waiting lists. The development of imaging and irradiation techniques over the last decades has allowed a high precision in the delivery of the dose to the target organ and a better protection of the organs at risk (OAR), which has encouraged the hypo fractionated irradiation of localized prostate cancer, especially after the results of radiobiology studies that suggested a low report a/b for the prostate.
