Abstract
Purpose: Radical radiotherapy to the prostate is conventionally treated with a full bladder to minimise dose to bladder and bowel. Patients’ tolerance of the bladder filling protocol varies and ‘accidents’ during treatment can cause undue distress to patients and increased pressure on the radiotherapy department. Several UK centres report treating with an empty bladder. We carried out a feasibility study of full bladder versus empty bladder to ascertain if we can safely change our practice.
