MRgRT for PC results in a temporary worsening of patient-reported urinary and bowel symptoms during the first month after treatment compared with pre-RT, resolving at 3 months. No clinically relevant changes were found for general quality of life domains. These results provide important information for patient counseling and can serve as a benchmark for future studies.
