Ep. 191 Optimizing Radiation Therapy: Role of Perirectal Spacers with Dr. Eric Chenven and Dr. Nadim Nasr

I don't think so. I don't think I've really seen any effects directly that I would attribute to the spacer implant or the marker implant and so on. Just like Nadim, I do that the exact same time and always the markers first. I'm numbing them up. The transrectal probe goes in. I do the deep needle.

Then I'm going over, mixing up the spacer, then coming back to do the markers and then the spacer itself. And I really haven't seen any issues. A lot of these patients, if they're getting space or they're, they're still doing some patients with standardized standard course of IMRT.

And so I think though that since we're doing the space or on the hypo frack, the SBRT cases, and we do have a cyber knife at one of our institutions nearby, uh, that a lot of these patients end up having, or at least looking to have, maybe not aggressive, but enough that we're going to give them hormones and so on.

So I'm going to end up seeing them back in a month, checking a PSA, because we probably started the hormones at least a couple weeks before the spacer and so on was going in. And so I'm checking on them, and I really don't see much effect until my colleagues start frying their prostate, and maybe they have a little... Just a little weaker stream or something like that.

I don't think they've asked. I may have asked them and kind of tested the waters when the view came out. I guess the one question I have relative to what Nadim just said is, are there centers that are not giant academic centers and so on that don't have the benefit of of an MRI, right?

And I'm sure he really would prefer a three Tesla MRI, but you know, an MRI right around the corner that it is as easy enough to do that, that they still want to do hypo fractionation. But the caveat to that is, is that in the office,

When at least when your practice that is keeping track of your expenses and of course, you're some level of profit, God knows, at least covering your expense of this expensive gel. No, no, of course.

Something I haven't experienced myself, but I imagine out there it has to is sort of that fear of COVID, which is sort of making a bit of a resurgence lately, at least down here in South Florida. Yeah.
