There's fresh information for prostate cancer patients and their doctors to consider when making treatment decisions.

A UK study has found those treated with a highly targeted type of radiotherapy appear to have fewer problems with two major side effects, compared with those who have surgery.

Auckland Radiation Oncologist Associate Professor Giuseppe Sasso says the treatment is also more convenient compared to conventional radiation.

He says it's able to take care of their disease with five appointments, rather than a four week, Monday to Friday course of radiation.
