Abstract:
The standard localized therapies for prostate cancer include external-beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy and radical prostatectomy. There are several novel approaches in development aimed at improving local disease control and survival, and reducing post-treatment complications. In low-to-intermediate-risk patients, new radiation approaches are being explored to include hypofractionated robotic radiation therapy. For high-risk patients, the focus is on multimodality approaches, especially the addition of chemotherapy. Recent developments in radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy are the focus of this review.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
