Our results support the hypothesis that a biofeedback training for the patient is an easy-to-apply, useful, and cost-effective tool for reducing acute GU toxicity in high-dose IMRT of the prostate. Patients who are not able to reach and maintain a certain bladder volume during planning and treatment-two independent risk factors-might need special consideration.
