Core Tip	Technological advances enabling precise targeting have driven continuous evolution in radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Moderate and ultra-hypofractionated regimens have been shown to be as effective as conventional therapy and offer patients greater convenience. However, optimizing treatment strategies requires overcoming challenges such as managing toxicity, defining the optimal dose/fractionation, integrating advanced diagnostics to enable personalized approaches and clarifying the role of radiation within multimodal management. Future progress hinges on refining novel techniques (e.g., FLASH and proton therapy), fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, and focusing on improving survival and quality of life outcomes for patients.
