ABSTRACT = {The use of radiation therapy in the radical treatment of
prostate cancer can lead to potential acute and long-term
toxicity and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) changes.
Ongoing investigation into dose-escalation, dose-per-fraction escalation, new radiation treatment technology/
paradigms, and novel systemic therapy may have either
positive and/or negative effects on normal tissue toxicity/
HRQoL. Herein, common toxicity scales and HRQoL
instruments that attempt to describe the deleterious effects
of prostate radiation therapy are reviewed.},
