side effect. None of these effects were fatal, and all were treated. Milder side effects were seen in an additional 37 patients, the researchers say, and all were successfully treated for these complications. Urinary leakage, a concern of many patients who choose not to use radiation, was not...
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...
INTRODUCTION: One of the most relevant focus of recent developments in radiotherapy technology was the adequate irradiation of prostate cancer. AIM: The aim of this study was to analyse the safety of normo- and hypofractionated and high dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy. METHOD: Toxicities were ...
