SpaceOAR Hydrogel, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel is designed to help reduce the radiation dose delivered to the rectum during prostate cancer radiation treatments1–3 When treating prostate cancer patients with radiation therapy, the goal is to destroy the cancer cells while avoiding dama...
“It depends where you are in the treatment process," Pisick says. "Guys who are having radiation treatments can work out. If you’re a man who has just had prostate surgery, then you may not be able to do pelvic floor training or ride a bicycle at first, because you might pee your...

(a) What is UV radiation? (b) What is light? (c) What is the relationship between them? How many markers are needed to determine closeness to a QTL? How do SMADs and TGF-beta receptors correlate with each other? Describe how energy and carbon cycles are inter-related. ...
Pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been shown to be a powerful predictor of expected outcome after radiation for prostate cancer. Additional measures such as recursive partitioning analysis and PSA Cancer Volume calculations are further refining this useful tool to provide the greatest degre...
The reference ranges for free T3 and free T4 are usually expressed in pmol/L or ng/dL, and the standard reference ranges can vary depending on the lab. Some labs even break them down by age. Ideally, you should be getting both of these tests and looking at them together, to see if ...
Another target in both cancer and fibrosis is the chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2). Monocyte and interstitial macrophages that express CCR2 are active in pulmonary fibrosis and can be non-invasively tracked with PET using64Cu-DOTA-ECL1i, as has been shown in mice with bleomycin- or radiation-indu...
