Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated a correlation between radiation dose and biochemical response to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of localized prostate cancer. Patients at all levels of risk who receive higher doses of irradiation experience longer disease-free survival. However, ...
Proton beam therapy is becoming a more widely accepted treatment for prostate cancer, while neutron beam therapy is still in the experimental stages. Why does Radiation Therapy Work for Prostate Cancer? Radiation is used as a prostate cancer treatment because high energy waves damage the DNA of ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has become an effective tool for cancer treatment with radiation. However, even expert radiation planners still need to spend a substantial amount of time, approximately 4 hours, manually adjusting IMRT optimization parameters such as dose limits and costlet weigh...
The effect of photon energy on intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for prostate cancer To evaluate the effect of common three photon energies (6-MV, 10-MV, and 15-MV) on intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans to treat prostate can... W Sung,JM Park,HC Chang,....
The focus of this work is the dosimetric impact of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf width on the treatment of prostate cancer with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).Ten patients with prostate cancer were planned for IMRT delivery using two different MLC leaf widths, 4 and 10 mm, repre...

The response of prostate cancer to radiation was well-documented in the pre-PSA era. Large palpable tumors resolved within months of treatment with relatively modest radiation doses of 64–70Gy. The use of PSA-based failure as an endpoint, however, has made it clear that cure rates were muc...
