Radical prostatectomy is the most common initial treatment for prostate cancer. Patients with high-risk pathologic features, such as a positive margin or seminal vesicle involvement, have a 40% to 50% risk of developing biochemical failure at some point in the future. Radiotherapy to the prostate...
Even though prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, it is the most survivable with 91% of the men living 10 years post diagnosis. Because of its high survival rate, the quality of life post diagnosis and treatment is of great concern. Depending upon the treatment selected, post...
Long-term outcomes in breast cancer patients with ten or more positive axillary nodes treated with combined-modality therapy: The importance of radiation f... Purpose: To determine the long-term outcome of a consistent treatment approach with electron beam postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in...
Purpose: Hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) has promising long-term biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS) with comparable toxicity for definitive treatment of prostate cancer. However, data reporting outcomes after adjuvant and s... Lewis,Stephen,L.,... - 《International Journal of Radiation...
Twenty-four-month postradiation prostate biopsies are strongly predictive of 7-year disease-free survival: results from a Canadian randomized trial. G: Twenty-four-month postradiation prostate biopsies are strongly predictive of 7-year disease-free survival. Results from a Canadian Randomized Trial. ...
Confirmation of a Low α/β Ratio for Prostate Cancer Treated by External Beam Radiation Therapy Alone Using a Post-Treatment Repeated-Measures Model for P... Confirmation of a low α/β ratio for prostate cancer treated by external beam radiation therapy alone using a post-treatment repeated-me...
Radiation therapy is a well-recognized treatment for unfavourable risk localized prostate cancer. Radiation induced recto-urethral fistulae are known rare complications particularly from brachytherapy. We report a case of a recto-urethral fistula 7 years post-external beam radiation and I-125 brachytherap...
Treatment of locally advanced, poorly differentiated prostate cancer will be presented including a discussion of neo-adjuvant and adjuvant hormones, dose-escalation and neutron irradiation.;-- Strategies for post-radiation failures will be presented including data on cryotherapy, salvage prostatectomy and ...
The trial's co-primary endpoint was the two-year change score from baseline in the bowel and urinary domains of the patient-reported Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire. The COPORT treatment arm included 152 patients, and the HYPORT treatment arm included 144 patients. ...
PURPOSE: Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) trial 8794 demonstrated that adjuvant radiation reduces the risk of biochemical (prostate-specific antigen [PSA]) treatment failure by 50% over radical prostatectomy alone. In this analysis, we stratified patients as to their preradiation PSA levels and correla...
