Hello.

You are asking about the length of radiation treatment for prostate cancer.

This type of treatment can be prescribed either before or after surgery and the treatment length depends on whether or not other treatment has occurred.

Conventional radiation treatment usually occurs daily for seven to eight weeks.

Proton radiation therapy is usually administered daily for five to six weeks.

I think it is necessary to ask these questions of the radiation oncologist who is giving the treatment.

Good luck.
