Core Tip	The study by Mera et al demonstrates that patient-reported outcome measures provide crucial information regarding the impact of radiotherapy planning techniques on patients with localized prostate cancer. Comparing three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, the study suggests an association between radiotherapy technique and patient-reported functional outcomes rather than a direct causal relationship. Therefore, patient-reported outcome measures are highly important tools for evaluating treatment and technological advancements from a patient-centered perspective.
