In 2016, Irmgard Helmbold, study physician,  presented some preliminary findings on hypofractionation and acute toxicity among prostate cancer patients at the conference of the German Society for Radiooncology (DEGRO) to introduce the REQUITE study more widely. She and the co-authors like to present updated results at this year’s DEGRO conference, so we are very pleased that the abstract on hypofractionation among prostate cancer patients has been accepted as a talk for the German Society for Radiooncology conference in June 2018.
