Would you ever include the proximal seminal vesicles in your prostate SBRT volume?

Are there any circumstances that would necessitate treatment?

I tend to include the proximal SVs for my intermediate risk prostate cancer patients getting SBRT. I usually use 8 Gy x5 for the prostate and 5 Gy x5 for the proximal SVs. I use the regimen from a colleague at UCLA and it seems well tolerated.
