Résumé

Patients with localized prostate cancer comprise a large volume of treatments in radiation therapy centers. Occasionally, individual patient anatomy makes the safe delivery of an effective dose of radiation therapy challenging. We describe 2 cases of patients with a small bowel deep in the pelvis within the planning target volume with subsequent suboptimal radiation therapy treatment plans. We explore how we used the GU-Lok, a prostate immobilization device, to move the small bowel away from the prostate, and tighten target volume margins to help facilitate safe and effective treatment.
