What Is the Best Prostate Cancer Treatment: Surgery or Radiation? Determining whether to opt for surgery or radiation is largely a matter of a man’s personal preference. Some may prefer the one-shot removal of their tumor offered by surgery, while others feel more comfortable with weeks of...
When early-stage cancer is found, the gold standard treatment—especially in younger men—is surgical removal of the walnut-sizedprostate gland. But studies suggest that up to 40% of men—Boughter among them—may be at high risk of recurrence despite surgery. That's because the cancer was a...
Using fewer—but higher—doses of radiation to treat men with prostate cancer who had their prostates removed does not increase long-term side effects or lower their quality of life compared to conventional radiation treatment, a new, multi-institutional clinical trial shows. Findings from the phas...
Internal radiation therapy is used for some cancers of the head, neck, thyroid, breast, female reproductive system, and prostate. Most people will have the radioactive capsule implanted by a surgeon while under either general or local anesthesia at a hospital or surgical clinic. Patients receiving...
During the five-yearinterval between 1939 and 1943 inclusive, 157 patients were treated with roentgen rays and/or gamma rays for the removal of lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx and pharynx. Of these patients, 86 (55 per cent) were male... HH Ashbury - 《Radiology》 被引量: 3发表: 1944...
PURPOSE: If a prostate cancer patient treated with 1251 brachytherapy dies within 12 months after the treatment, prostate removal before cremation is recommended to avoid problems related to radioactivity in the ashes, such as inhalation of airborne particulate matter by crematorium staff or nearby ...
This cohort study examines the overall survival in men with very high-risk prostate cancer who are treated with radiotherapy and hormone therapy at
Internal radiation therapy places radiation inside of an individual’s body, close to cancer cells. It treats smaller tumours in an individual’s head, neck, breast, cervix, uterus, or prostate. Patient can receive internal radiation through a solid source/in liquid form: ...
Down-regulation of ATM Protein Sensitizes Human Prostate Cancer Cells to Radiation-induced Apoptosis. Treatment with the protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 12-acetate (TPA) enables radiation-resistant LNCaP human prostate cancer cells to u... Truman,Jean-Philip,Gueven,... - 《Jour...
"It is really important that patients and their doctors watch PSA levels after a radical prostatectomy, which is a complete removal of the prostate," she says. In men who have an intact prostate, a PSA test can indicate either an enlargedprostate glandor development of cancer in the prostate...
