The radiation toxicity and quality of life considerations are unique in the post-prostatectomy setting. Materials and methods:A total of 106 patients receiving post-prostatectomy radiation therapy completed the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire before radiation and at 2-year follow-up...
We describe an iRAI volumetric imaging system that enables mapping of the three-dimensional (3D) radiation dose distribution in a complex clinical radiotherapy treatment. The method relies on a two-dimensional matrix array transducer and a matching multi-channel preamplifier board. The feasibility of ...
Surgery to remove the prostate gland (called radical prostatectomy) Radiation therapy – sometimes combined with androgen deprivation therapy, which shuts off male hormones that fuel cancer cells Potential Side Effects of Prostate Cancer Treatment Both surgery and radiation prostate cancer treatments are as...
Bladder neck stenosis (BNS) and posterior urethral stenosis (PUS) are uncommon but problematic complications of treatment for localized prostate cancer. Overall, BNS is less common following minimally invasive radical prostatectomy than open. Patients who develop PUS following radiation therapy (RT) (esp...

“The decision to offer post-prostatectomy radiation therapy is complex, because conventional imaging can leave unanswered questions on the best approach to treatment planning,” co-principal investigator Ashesh B. Jani, MD, FASTRO, a professor of radiation oncology at the Winship Canc...
Randomized data from SWOG 8794 and EORTC 22911 confirm the benefit of post-operative radiation therapy (RT) for selected patients with pT3 prostate cancer (CaP) after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, data regarding the potential benefit of RT for patients post-RP with positive lymph node (...
"Delivering post-prostatectomyradiationtherapy with fewer treatments is a win when it comes to reducing the burden ofprostate canceron society. For patients, fewer treatments equate to a shorter time commitment that increases access to a potentially curativetreatment, reduces expenses related to travel ...
