Cover Story: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is increasingly used for localized prostate cancer (PCa), but evidence supporting its use in high-risk PCa (HRPC) remains limited. Standard management continues to favor conventional or moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy combined with long-course androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). This systematic review aimed to synthesize current data on SBRT biochemical outcomes, toxicity, and technical aspects in localized HRPC. View this paper
