The service benefits from deep and close collaborations with the Department of Medical Physics and supports a wide range of modalities and technologies including LDR and HDR Brachytherapy, SBRT, MR-based radiation planning, and an expanding MR Linear Accelerator program. The service also maintains continually updated clinical guidelines on indications for radiation and optimal techniques for each disease sub-site within the GU service. Of note, physicians on the service manage both ADT and ARSI therapy for most of the primary and salvage prostate cancer cases treated. The service collaborates closely with the Divisions of Urology, Genitourinary Medical Oncology and Departments of Radiology and Pathology on research efforts and guideline management.
