What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Risks are generally lower than with IMRT due to reduced collateral damage, but may include mild skin irritation, fatigue, or temporary swelling in the treated area. Recovery is outpatient, meaning no hospital stay is required, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days after each session. Long-term side effects like rectal or bladder dysfunction are significantly minimized, though regular follow-ups are recommended to monitor for rare late effects.
