One challenge in determining the risk of adverse effects from prostate cancer treatment is that for some of these conditions, such as erectile dysfunction, the incidence increases with age. So, a true measure of risk can be determined only by comparing men treated for prostate cancer with untreat...
Radiation treatment (RT) following radical prostatectomy (RP) was shown to increase the risk of cystitis and worsen long-term general health measures among patients with prostate cancer.1 In total, 9.1% of patients included in the study underwent external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) 5 y...
Time trends and variations in mean and accumulated solar radiation for the ripening period of paddy rice in Kyushu for 1979-2007 A notable declining trend in the eating quality of rice panicles has been observed in Kyushu, West-ern Japan, since the 1990's. As solar radiation is one o......
Monte Carlo determination of radiation induced cancer risks for prostate IMRT patients The application of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has enabled us to deliver high doses to the target volume while sparing the surrounding nor... S Stathakis,J Li,Ma, Charlie C.M - 《Journal of...
Like an insidious poison, low doses of radiation repeated over time can increase one’s risk of acquiring naturally occurring cancers. This is because radiation damages the genetic code deep within cell nuclei, increasing the chance that mistakes in the repair process could lead to a cancer-causi...
When a cell has acquired enough of these mutations to interfere with the “rules” by which normal cells behave, it has become cancerous. Mutations can be inherited at birth or acquired during your lifetime. Exposure to harmful substances, such as tobacco smoke or radiation, can damage your ...
exert little influence on the subsequent development of cancer. According to the best estimates, the risk of cancer from exposure to low radiation doses is 5.10−5per millisievert of equivalent absorbed dose. Considered overall, the carcinogenetic potential of radiation can be regarded as weak....
killed off by radiation treatments," co-study lead Michael Zelefsky, MD, said in a press release. "Our findings point to the importance of physicians counseling their patients regarding the potential harms of smoking interfering with the efficacy of therapies and for increased risks of side ...
Bone pain is the most prevalent of all cancer-associated types of pain, and may be severe, necessita- ting opiate analgesics and palliative radiation therapy and often accompanied by a substantial decline in patient-reported quality of life. Despite the many advances in the treatment of advanced ...
