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 Radiation therapy generally requires 5 treatments per week over 6-8 weeks....
This well-tolerated therapeutic trio was administered to patients with metastatic castration-resistantprostate cancer. Prostate cancer is considered castration-resistant when the cancer progresses despite hormone therapy. By following the progression of the cancer through radiology, the scientists were able to...
Are you safe for active surveillance or do you need treatment? Is your cancer at risk of spreading? What are your chances of surviving prostate cancer? Can I benefit from adding hormone therapy (ADT) to radiation or can I safely avoid the side-effects of ADT?
Treatment can include medication, catheters, and surgery. Prostate can also cause erectile dysfunction and result in treatment or cancer-related issues like surgery, radiation, or hormonal therapy. Surgery is available to treat erectile dysfunction....

More than 40% of men with intermediate-risk or high-risk prostate cancer will experience a biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Clinical guidelines for the management of these patients largely focus on the use of salvage radiotherapy with or without systemic therapy. However, not all ...
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...
