In regards to radiation therapy, what we've found is that men may not suffer the side effects immediately. But the effects of radiation therapy, we found, are somewhat more delayed.
Other possible side effects of external beam radiation therapy are: Tiredness. Your fatigue might not lift until a few weeks or months after you finish getting radiation therapy. Lymphedema. If radiation therapy damages the lymph nodes around your prostate gland, the fluid can build up in your ...
Radiation for prostate may cut side effects. (Originated from Boston Globe)Foreman, Judy
Policymakers and clinicians have highlighted the need for comparative studies of prostate cancer treatments. However, there is little evidence comparing IMRT to conventional radiation therapy. Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, or 3D-CRT, uses computers and special imaging techniques such as CT...

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 ...
