Your prostate is next to key nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that help you have an erection. Surgery and radiation to treat your cancer can damage these areas, making it more difficult to get an erection or have an orgasm. (If you were having trouble getti...
Post-radiation biopsies may assess the efficacy of radiation in locally eradicating prostate cancer cells. Aim of this overview was to analyze the role of prostate rebiopsies after radiation to evaluate treatment success. Methods: A Medline search was performed from 1980 to 2001 for articles in ...
Your prostate is next to key nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that help you have an erection. Surgery and radiation to treat your cancer can damage these areas, making it more difficult to get an erection or have an orgasm. (If you were having trouble getting an erection before your tre...
Uterus: It is designed to find potential fibroids. Prostate: This scan may help detect potential prostate cancer and prostatitis (prostate inflammation) in men. Be Proactive: Book an Ezra Full Body MRI Scan Today In medical imaging, the choice between a 3T vs 1.5T MRI can make a differe...
(ADT), which is used for treatment of both local and metastatic disease. ADT can be performed surgically by removing the testicles, or chemically by pharmacologically reducing production of testosterone. “When people get ADT as the first treatment for prostate cancer, 30–40% have a very deep...
Seven papers performed additional analysis, primarily when patients in the control arm received the experimental treatment during trial follow-up (treatment switching). Discussion Overall survival has steadily moved from being the primary to a secondary endpoint. However, it is still of interest with ...
What is the CyberKnife®System? The CyberKnife System is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is indicated. It is used to treat conditions throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain, spine, head and neck, ...
Three-dimensional ultrasound analyses of the prostate. Mol Urol 2000;4:133–141. [PubMed: 11062367] 11. Liu, T.; Lizzi, FL.; Silverman, RH., et al. Ultrasonic tissue microstructure characterization using two- dimensional spectral analysis and the potential role in conformal radiation therapy....
In SPECT, only the direct radiation perpendicular to the detector is recorded; in PET, two detectors hit simultaneously by photons with an oblique direction to the cylinder axis can equally record the radiation. This complex of conditions makes PET faster than SPECT and with higher resolution. ...
The goal is to evaluate how well hospitals perform in each procedure or condition – not just with the most challenging cases, as with the specialty rankings, but with the full range of patients. Because the procedures and conditions evaluated are performed at many more hospitals than the ...
