The importance of a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to urological radiation complications is highlighted in a recent study by Ma et al [1]. Their single-centre retrospective study adds to the existing body of knowledge, and the controversy in the field, regarding radiotherapy complications and toxicities from the urological perspective. The work provided some meaningful information about a subsection of patients presenting to one of the largest urology units in Australia. Furthermore, the study is well critiqued by the associated editorial that underscores many of the issues [2]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
