Increasing rectum–prostate distance using a hydrogel spacer to reduce radiation exposure during proton beam therapy for prostate cancer

SpaceOAR, a polyethylene-glycol hydrogel, reduces rectal radiation exposure during radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Previously, our group reported the modified technique of hydrogel insertion, which achieves greater separated distance at prostate-apex. This study aimed to investigate the impac...
