Prostate cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant androgen ablation experience less radiation-induced intestinal toxicity. This can be due to the size reduction of bulky prostatic tumours and optimization of the target volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate if leuprorelin exerts itself a protective effect on irradiated bowel.

Abstract
Prostate cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant androgen ablation experience less radiation-induced intestinal toxicity. This can be due to the size reduction of bulky prostatic tumours and optimization of the target volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate if leuprorelin exerts itself a protective effect on irradiated bowel.
