"For the MIRAGE trial specifically, we're going to continue following patients and we'll look at [data at] 5 years as well," says Amar U. Kishan, MD.

“I would say both there could be an increase in MRI-guided [SBRT] and there may be increase in investigation into shrinking margins with CT-guided SBRT as well,” says Amar U. Kishan, MD.

"Physician scored GU toxicity grade 2 or greater at 2 years was 51% with the CT-guided and 27% with the MRI-guided," says Amar U. Kishan, MD.

“The trial was specifically looking at whether that aggressive margin reduction from 4 mm to 2 mm would lead to a reduction in physician-reported urinary toxicity, specifically in the first 90 days after radiation,” says Amar U. Kishan, MD.
