Consider that prostate cancer uses male hormone ortestosteroneas an important factor for growth. In some prostate cancers, it may be beneficial to block that hormone withandrogendeprivation therapy, or ADT, which can slow the cancer or even put it in remissio...
The grade is a number that tells you how abnormal your cancer cells look under a microscope. The lower the grade, the more normal-looking your cancer cells are – and, in general, the more likely your cancer is slow-growing. Radiation, along with hormone therapy, might also be part of ...
The advent of image-guided or CT-based treatment planning, such as 3D-conformal or intensity modulated radiation therapy has allowed safe delivery of high- dose radiation therapy in men with prostate cancer with an acceptable rate of side effects and complications. External-beam radiation therapy ...
Prostate cancer, disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells within the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is a frequently diagnosed cancer among males. Learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of prostate cancer.
When considering radiation therapy for prostate cancer, our technology has never been better. Today, radiation oncologists combine sophisticated treatment planning in the form of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with the precision targeting of image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). IMRT allows...

The early published literature on post–radiation therapy pathology in patients with prostate cancer is based on treatment with external beam radiation. However, brachytherapy techniques produce the same pathologic changes.
The “potent synergy” between radiation and hormone therapy may be key to the combined treatment’s promise, said Dr. Tang. “Hormone therapy has been shown in multiple studies to synergize with radiation therapy to reduce prostate cancer cells’ ability to repair themselves from rad...
