ASMR 2016

Prostate patients

Lips et al. Ijrobp 2011 • 739 patients without diet, 205 patients with diet • Diet instructions on leaflet • No reduction of intrafraction movement McNair et al. 2011 • 22 patients using questionaires • Rectal filling consistency not improved • Diet + fixed treatment times, no laxatives Conclusion: • Drinking and dietery protocol are needed for clear patient communication BUT • Won’t solve the whole problem of intra/interfraction motion (additional tools are needed)
