SpaceOAR - Augmenix, Boston Scientific, and Conflicts of Interest

[thesauce]

So anyway, re space oar, is it allowed in high risk yet? Last I was aware, it was only okay in low and intermediate risk.

It is commonly used for high risk

i agree. even node positive disease.

main concern has always been if there is significant EPE posteriorly

In the original randomized trial I *think* they omitted high risk.

I always get an MRI and if any concern for posterior or posterior-lateral ECE I don't recommend it, even if it is a soft call. The juice isn't worth the squeeze IMO.

I think other spaceOAR true believers go by no "gross" EPE posteriorly.

70/35 was equivalent in the rtog/calgb study

To 45/30... no QD arm has been proven to be equally efficacious to 60/40 or 54/30 SIB
