    The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is requesting public submissions of scientific information about hypofractionated radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer. They aim to improve a systematic review being conducted by their Evidence-based Practice Centers. Submissions, due by February 13, 2025, should include completed and ongoing study details relevant to the topic, respecting public access and confidentiality guidelines. The review seeks to address specific questions about treatment benefits, harms, and various influencing factors.

They’re asking people to share any helpful information they know, but it's not very clear about how this information will be used, so it might be tricky for some people to understand how they can help.
