60 LA PROSTATE CANCER 15 prostate cancer patients treated with RT without HT. The effect of adding HT to RT was evaluated using the AMC-4 regional HT device and assuming a 1-h time interval between RT and HT. Conclusion: adding HT is equivalent to a radiotherapy dose escalation of about 10 Gy, 76 Gy RT ALONE 86 Gy RT+ HT

61 TREATMENT DATA All data are recorded in a standardized way according to the guidelines READY FOR MULTICENTRIC STUDY
