What Side Effects Can I Expect? All prostate cancer treatments have possible side effects, says Sean Cavanaugh, MD, chief of radiation oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Atlanta. Even if your cancer is so early you choose to “just watch and wait, you have the psychological ...
Prostate cancer patients who receive hormone treatments before undergoing three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) do not have increased side effects compared with those not receiving hormone therapy before radiation, according to a new study in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology...
Intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, is a specialized form of 3D-CRT that better shapes the radiation to the tumor. Using IMRT, it may be possible to further limit the amount of radiation received by healthy tissue near the tumor. This study used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and ...
"There is a general fear of this kind of radiation treatment on the part of some patients and their physicians, but this study shows that it not only effectively eradicates the recurrent cancer in a substantial number of patients, but that there are few serious side effects," says the study...

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of prostate cancer. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Recognize the potential for cardiovascular adverse events with various hormonal therapies...
Currently there is no consensus as to the most appropriate treatment for LAPC . Common treatment options include hormonal therapy, radiation therapy (RT) or a combination of both (Fig. 1). Hormonal关键词: locally advanced prostate cancer side‐effects treatments ...
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): To measure the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) among community hospital prostate cancer patients with severe late radiation side effects, utilizing a modified SOMA-LENT score system. A secondary objective was to analyze any association of different radiation techni...
A quarter of these patients undergo local therapy (surgery/radiation); 75% risk disease progression by "watchful waiting" or systemic side effects through hormonal ablation. Local high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as minimal invasive tissue coagulation (85 degrees C), ablates prostatic ...
