Image-guided radiation therapyPatient preferencesMarginal willingness to payLatent class analysisThere are several options for real-time prostate monitoring during radiation therapy including fiducial markers (FMs) and transperineal ultrasound (TPUS). However, the patient experience for these procedures is ...
Procedures All patients underwent a baseline history and physical examination. Patients randomized to the spacer group underwent baseline computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Within 14 days, patients had fiducial markers and the Non-Animal Stabilized HA spacer (Barrigel; Pal...
An X-ray machine uses a low energy radiation beam to take a picture of a portion of the body. Radiation therapy machines put out high energy beams that can be focused very precisely to deliver treatment to a site. The radiation does not "burnout" the cancer, but damages the cells' DNA,...
Radiation therapy as with surgical therapy is a potentially curative treatment that uses radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be performed via external beam therapy (EBRT) or the placement of radioactive seeds into the prostate (prostate brachytherapy). ...
The radiation beam leaves the linear accelerator by a gantry. Different options of machines are commercially available: a traditional linear accelerator where the gantry can rotate around the patient (Arc therapy). Other possibilities are tomotherapy (=helical therapy) where the radiation dose is ...
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...

SpaceOAR Hydrogel is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel designed to temporarily create space between the prostate and rectum, and reduce the radiation dose delivered to the rectum during radiation therapy.1,2It has been clinically shown to help reduce the side effects of radiation the...
A high-energy laser destroys or removes overgrown prostate tissue. Laser therapy generally relieves symptoms right away and has a lower risk of side effects than does nonlaser surgery. Laser therapy might be used in men who shouldn't have other prostate procedures because they take blood-thinning...
