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. ...
(EBRT) Need for an environment that facilitates interaction among men to resolve SD issues Participants stated that they could not publicly discuss their SD nor could they expect help from medical professionals, leaving them with no solution for various related conflicts. Unlike visual or hearing ...
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...
Overview of an EBRT procedure. First, in a preparatory phase an RT plan needs to be created. This process is referred to as RT planning. Secondly, the linear accelerator requires delivering this plan to a patient in an appropriate fashion: the RT dose delivery. In the preparatory phase, ima...
However, as these explanations are speculative, we do not have a sufficient explanation to our observation. In terms of age and therapy recommendations, we found a trend towards favouring RP for patients under 70 years and EBRT for those over 70 years. This trend could have been a result of...

With the advancement of treatment modalities in radiation therapy for cancer patients, outcomes have improved, but at the cost of increased treatment plan complexity and planning time. The accurate prediction of dose distributions would alleviate this is
With respect to a definitive assessment of the clinical efficacy of proton (P-EBRT) vs. photon (X-EBRT) external beam radiotherapy cannot be made as there is limited evidence [3]. Therefore, clinicians are faced with a dilemma when deciding which treatment option to utilize. This should be ...
