All cases had undergone radical prostatectomy and were receiving postoperative radiation therapy. The CTV (prostatic fossa), PTV, rectum, bladder (excluding CTV) and femoral heads were contoured for all patients. Small bowel, sigmoid, residual seminal vessels and penile bulb were added dependent on individual patients’ anatomy and clinical situation. The prescribed dose to the PTV (CTV + 8 mm, posterior: + 4 mm) was 66.6 Gy (37 × 1.8 Gy). For other planning parameters see Table 1.
