Conclusion A low α/β (1.5 Gy) for late urinary toxicity resulted in higher likelihoods, consistently with a high sensitivity of late urinary tox to fractionation. This points out that hypofractionation should to be coupled to optimisation in the bladder-PTV overlap/urethra in order to reduce the risk of late urinary tox, especially for patients having other risk factors Funding: AIRC Investigator Grant, no.IG13090 and no.

SBRT may reduce the bleeding risk by decreasing
