HypofractionationProstate cancerRadiobiologyRadiation therapy (RT) is a standard therapeutic option for prostate cancer (PC). In the last decades, several innovative technology applications have been introduced. 3-Dimensional conformal RT, volumetric/rotational intensity modulated RT associated or not with ...
Explore the PACE-B trial results on SBRT for prostate cancer, offering a convenient, cost-effective alternative to conventional radiotherapy.
Savita Dandapani, MD, PhD, discussed combining radium-223 and SBRT for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
SBRT for clinically localized prostate cancer was well tolerated, with an early biochemical response similar to other radiation therapy treatments. Benign PSA bounces were common. Late GI and GU toxicity rates were comparable to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy and brachytherapy. Late urinary ...
Non-surgical treatments for prostate cancer: Radiation therapy The most common type of non-surgical treatment for localised prostate cancer isradiation therapy. This method uses a special device that focuses a beam of X-rays on the area affected by cancer. The location of the tumour cells is de...
Background: Recent data have found an overall survival benefit from prostate-directed radiotherapy in patients with low-volume metastatic prostate cancer. Prostate SBRT is an attractive treatment in this setting and may be optimised with MR-guided adaptive treatment. Here, we share our institutional ...
Understanding How One Must Interpret PSA Levels in Prostate Cancer How Five-Fraction SBRT Compares With Traditional Radiation in Prostate Cancer Using Clinical Trials to Advance Prostate Cancer Treatments What Patients with Prostate Cancer Need to Know About Radiation Side Effects ...
Both studies utilized the CyberKnife® (Accuracy Incorporated, Sunnyvale, USA) system to deliver SBRT (35–36.25 Gy in five fractions) to patients with clinically localized, low-risk prostate cancer. “The treatment is entirely noninvasive, has no hospital stay, no anesthesia, and treatment sessi...
Aims: to optimise linear accelerator-based prostate stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) through planning studies, tumour control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) calculations and radiation-induced second primary cancer (RISPC) risk assessment. Methods: A planning stu...
