Management options for localized prostate cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, or observation-also termed watchful waiting. Radiation therapy is an effective treatment option for men with early-stage prostate cancer; it is used for definitive therapy in about one-third of men with clinically ...
Minesh Mehta, MD, deputy director, chief, Radiation Oncology, Miami Cancer Institute, Baptist Health, discusses recent advancements in in radiation therapy for patients with prostate cancer, particularly noting the benefits and significance of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan (Pluvicto; formerly 17...
TARGETING APOPTOSIS IN PROSTATE CANCER Prostate cancer was diagnosed in more than 180,000 men in the year 2000. 2 Despite initial local therapy with surgery or radiation, many patients experienc... RS Dipaola,J Patel,MM Rafi - 《Hematology/oncology Clinics of North America》 被引量: 81发表:...
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...
Prostate cancer radiation treatment can be divided into categories based on the high-energy wave they use. Most types of external beam radiation therapy use accelerated subatomic particles called electrons to generate waves of high energy photon radiation. Proton beams use a subatomic particle called ...
The response of prostate cancer to radiation was well-documented in the pre-PSA era. Large palpable tumors resolved within months of treatment with relatively modest radiation doses of 64–70Gy. The use of PSA-based failure as an endpoint, however, has made it clear that cure rates were muc...
There have been significant advancements in the quality and precision of radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer over the past two decades. The development and implementation of intensity-modulated radiation therapy has allowed for RT dose-escalation without parallel increases in treatment morbidity. ...

Radiation therapy is the primary intervention for nearly half of the patients with localized advanced prostate cancer and standard of care for recurrent disease following surgery. The development of radiation-resistant disease is an obstacle for nearly 3
Scott T. Tagawa, MD, MS, FACP, FASCO, highlights a key difference between oral androgen receptor inhibitor drugs and therapeutic radionuclides for the treatment of prostate cancer.
