If you have advanced prostate cancer, radiation could help keep the disease under control for as long as possible. It can also help prevent or ease symptoms that the cancer might cause. What Happens on Treatment Days? If you get external radiation therapy, you’ll need to get regular session...
Savita Dandapani, MD, PhD, discussed combining radium-223 and SBRT for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. Savita Dandapani, MD, PhD Combining radiopharmaceuticals and radiation therapy shows potential in the prostate cancer space. However, careful consideration of timing and sequencing is ...
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 ...
Advances in technology (eg, multiparametric MRI, MR/transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy, image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy) have transformed diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer while improving cancer control and quality-of-life outcomes. Exciting breakthroughs are ...
Radiation Therapy Prostate Radiation Therapy EBRT or electron beam radiation therapy aims external radiation at prostate cancer cells. Using Radiation Therapy IMRT and 3D-CRT are newer versions of EBRT and are non-invasive. Radiation Treatment
Treatment of early disease, when cancer is confined to the original site, is focused on that single area, most often with surgery or radiation therapy. Treatment of advanced disease, when it has spread, often relies on treatments that can travel all around the body, such as chemotherapy or ...
EBRT (External Beam Radiation Therapy):These X-rays destroy tumor cells by damaging their DNA. There is a brief exposure to the radiation, typically lasting several minutes. Once the prostate cancer treatment is over, there is no radiation in the patient’s body. The treatment is completely no...
