Todd Scarbrough: How long will it take the radiation oncology to discuss ‘all options’ with the patient with prostate cancer

Todd Scarbrough, Radiation Oncologist at Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center, shared a post on X:

”A patient presents with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer.

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) lists 16 EBRT fraction options for this, 6 boost options (seeds, SBRT), SpaceOAR and proton options, also need to consider hormones (yes/no, oral or standard).

That’s 16x2x6x2x2x4=3072 different treatment iterations for this one presentation!

At the initial consult, how long will it take the radiation oncology to discuss ‘all options’ with the patient?”
