1.The Majority of Voters Felt that We Do Need More Data to Support Rectal Spacing.
2.Need More Data on Impact of Rectal Spacing on Urinary and Sexual Function.
3.Rectal Spacers are Expensive and Their Use Should be Justified.

4.The Cost Will Decrease with Time and the Procedure will Become Safer with Experience.
5.High Grade Complications are Rare but need to be Evaluated in a Trial Setting
http://6.Do to Lack of Equipoise, it would be Difficult to Conduct Such a Trial In the US.

7.Standard Dose Prostate SBRT (36.25 Gy-40 Gy in 5 Fractions) is Well Tolerated Without a Rectal Spacer
8.Dose Escalation or Salvage Trials where High Grade Toxicities are More Common are the Appropriate Space to Evaluate the Benefits
Did I Leave Anything Out?
