Delphi study to identify consensus on patient selection for hydrogel rectal spacer use during radiation therapy for prostate cancer in the UK by Amit Bahl, Suneil Jain, Albert Edwards, Rhodri Saunders, Clive Peedell, Heather Ann Payne, James Andrew Thomas, Prantik Das, Amanda Hansson Hedblom, Emily Woodward

“…A higher benefit of spacers can be expected in patients on anticoagulation and in patients with diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease, but consensus could not be reached regarding patient groups expected to benefit less. While radiation therapy regimen is not a main factor determining prioritisation, higher benefit is expected in ultrahypofractionated regimens.Conclusion There is a strong and general agreement that all patients with prostate cancer undergoing radical radiation therapy have the potential to benefit from hydrogel spacers. …”
