Abstract Introduction The stereotactic irradiation is a new approach for low-risk prostate cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a schema of stereotactic irradiation of the prostate with an integrated-boost into the tumor. Material and methods The prostate and the tumor were delineate...
