CANCER treatmentPROSTATELYMPH nodesCOMPUTED tomographyLASER therapyPurpose: Gold–silica nanoshell therapy [AuroShells with subsequent focal laser therapy (AuroLase)] is an emerging targeted treatment modality for prostate cancer. We reviewed pre- and post-treatment unenhanced CT imaging to assess for ...
Using Gold in Anticancer Treatment Gold is used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Using small gains of gold (about the size of a grain of rice), doctors can accurately identify the position of the patient's prostate during treatment. The improved accuracy allows for a more precise radiation...
“If you’re having your prostate removed and the cancer is sneaking outside of the prostate, then we go a little bit wider with our treatment margins so we don’t leave any cancer behind. If you’re having radiation to your prostate, the radiation oncologist sometimes p...
Purpose: Gold seed fiducial markers can be used to accurately define daily treatment field placement for prostate cancer patients. In 2007, a small study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using gold seed fiducial markers. Methods: Eleven patients who attended for treatment had three ...

Specialized gold nanostructures are of interest for the development of alternative treatment methods in medicine. Photothermal therapy combined with gene therapy that supports hyperthermia is proposed as a novel multimodal treatment method for prostate cancer. In this work, photothermal therapy using small ...
couldlink nanoparticles of Au-198with a compound found in tea leaves to treat prostate cancer. The tea compound is attracted to the tumor cells, keeping the nanoparticles glued to the right spot for several weeks while the radiation treatment occurs. (The method has yet to be tested on ...
DRR.The value of the gold marker displacement due to the second HDR-brachytherapy was analyzed in all patients and for each gold marker by comparison of the marker positions in the prostate after soft tissue registration of the prostate of the CT-scans prior the first and second HDR-...
