Abstract
Radiation therapy has useful applications in the management of all stages of prostate cancer. Modern advances have improved the efficacy of radiotherapy, and have lowered the toxicity. Radiotherapy offers patients with early stage, clinically localized disease a non-invasive curative option that has low toxicity. Patients with metastatic prostate cancer can be palliated with judicious use of radiotherapy.
