THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. THIS VIDEO IS A SAMPLE OF PATIENT EDUCATION MATERIAL THAT WAS CONVERTED FROM PAPER TO A DIGITAL ASSET TO STREAMLINE KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER BETWEEN DOCTORS AND PATIENTS.
In this video we review how rectum and bladder filling can affect accuracy and side effects from radiation treatment. We also review some standard instructions on things patients can do to help doctors achieve the best possible treatment.

I'm going for my radiation simulation tomorrow. Appreciate this information.
thank you
Is SpaceOr a good option? My Dr said that he didn’t recommend because there’s a (1%+) chance of not hitting the space between the rectum and Prostate? Any thoughts?
Thanks for the question. Just my opinion: I think spaceoar is a great option, there's lots of data that is reduces the risk of rectal injury from radiation. In experienced hands it is a very low risk procedure. I recommend it for almost all my patients with intact prostate cancer (no prior prostatectomy).
