When treating prostate cancer with radiation therapy, side effects such as urinary problems and rectal pain and bleeding are a concern, as is impact on the patient's overall quality of life. So when new, more efficient treatment methods are developed, one important question is whether better tre...

Radiation therapy for nonmetastatic cancer of the prostate is a highly effective treatment modality. Local control and disease-free 10-year survival rates are equal to those of surgery. Despite the radiation doses of at least 70 Gy necessary for tumor control, the rate of radiation-related side...
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's lead investigator, Jennifer Peterson, M.D., from the Department of Radiation Oncology...
Irrespective of its benefits in cancer treatment, radiotherapy comes with adverse side effects – such as rectal bleeding and urinary leakage. This is always a cause of worry and concern for many patients. Findings of a study presented at the recently concluded European Society for Medic...
In general, there are 2 major treatment options for prostate cancer. On one side you have the surgery, on the other side, I call it “The whole other bucket of treatments” that include: proton beam, cyberknife that is very advertised – that goes in the bucket of radiation. Seed implant...

Research published in JAMA Oncology on Thursday revealed that higher doses of radiation don’t improve survival for many prostate cancer patients, compared with standard radiation treatment. “Over the past two decades radiation oncologists have become adept at treating men to these higher radiation ...
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...
Early and late side effects limit radiation dose and might affect the long-term health-related quality of life of the patient. The classical framework for discussing early and late side effects was the target-cell hypothesis: that the severity of side effects mainly reflected cell depletion as a...
