Effects on long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were evaluated in patients treated for localized by two standard modalities: radical retropubic prostatectomy (RP) and external beam radiotherapy combined with a high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost (HDRBT-EBRT). The HRQoL data were compared...
function side effects January 30 2013 A new study comparing outcomes among prostate cancer patients treated with surgery versus radiotherapy found differences in urinary, bowel and sexual function after short-term follow-up, but those differences were no longer significant 15 years after initial ...
To evaluate the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQL) after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) among PORTEC-2 trial patients, evaluate long-term bowel and bladder symptoms, and assess the impact of cancer on these endometrial cancer (EC) survivors. ...

In one patient there was a targeting error because the true lesion located in the hepatic angle was moved by spontaneous large bowel movement. This patient was retreated 1 week after initial Cyberknife treatment. The missed target lesion showed necrosis on CT scan after 1 month, but no ...
These issues included not only oncology-specific problems (cancer surveillance, bowel obstruction) but also potentially non-oncology- specific problems (anemia, rectal bleeding). The reliance of patients on their oncologists to manage non- oncologic issues will become problematic in the near fu- ture...
Impressively, 86% of these pregnancies resulted in deliveries after reaching a gestational age of 32 + 0 weeks [30]. These findings outperform the collective 23.9% success rate in achieving pregnancy seen across all types of radical trachelectomy procedures (vaginal, abdominal, minimally invasive),...
Moreover, the recovery of bladder function has been uneven after comprehensive therapy, which reached only 40–60% [22]. Meanwhile, the application of radiotherapy in China has lagged far behind the use of surgery. Doctors and patients both regard radiotherapy as an auxiliary treatment that does...
