Re: Difference between salvage and primary radiation treatment.
David,
It was explained to me that with salvage they don't try to be very precise because they don't know exactly where they need to hit. With primary a precise radiation machine is more useful since they know exactly what they are aiming for, assuming you or your bladder don't move during the 30 seconds or so that they are radiating you.
