Pelvic radiotherapy in men

This section gives information to men who are going to have, or have had, radiotherapy to the pelvic area. CancerBACUP has a separate section for women who are having pelvic radiotherapy.

The section describes the main side effects so that you can be aware of them but it is unlikely that you will be affected by all of those listed. It may help to read this section alongside CancerBACUP’s information about your type of cancer and about radiotherapy.
