After prostate surgery, shortened radiation schedule provides similar cancer control to standard radiation

Men with high-risk prostate cancer have a higher likelihood of residual disease after prostatectomy and may require radiation therapy after surgery, particularly when PSA levels begin to rise. Conventional postprostatectomy radiotherapy (COPORT) is typically delivered over 37 fractions, while hypofractionated postprostatectomy radiotherapy (HYPORT) delivers a slightly lower total radiation dose over 25 fractions.
