The score can identify patients in whom the risk of metastasis after dose-escalated radiation is so small that adding ADT no longer makes clinical sense, according to investigatorJonathan Tward, MD, PhD, of the Genitourinary Cancer Center at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. His group's...
RADIATION THERAPY CAN BE EFFECTIVE WEAPON AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER, EVMS STUDY SAYS.(FRONT)Joyce, Marie
Mostprostate cancersare diagnosed before the cancer has grown beyond the prostate gland. The primary treatment options for localized prostate cancer include active surveillance, radiation therapy or surgery to remove the prostate gland. SBRT is an advanced form of radiation therapy that shrinks or destr...

For cancer to develop, your immune system must be worn out and ineffective. Making it unable to kill cancer cells as fast as they develop. Or you must have been exposed to a great deal of cancer causing toxins, radiation or some such thing. These can increase the development of cancer ce...
Although mastectomy is the standard treatment modality for breast cancer patients in Ethiopia, our previous study revealed that one in five patients do not receive the recommended procedure, half due to patient refusal or lack of returning to the hospita
