the death rate from this disease has shown a steady decline, and currently more than 2 million men in the U.S. are still alive after being diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
Even after complete resection, the 5-year rate of progression-free survival is 60–80 %. Survival relates directly to the effectiveness of surgical removal followed by either radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The use of radiation in young children with ependymomas was avoided in the pas...
EBRT is effective in painful bone lesions in advanced prostate cancer patients but not an ideal option if there are multiple lesions at different sites. The lesions in multiple sites will progress after EBRT in one site and pain will reappear in a short time afterwards, unless other systemic th...
Non-responders to initial chemotherapy had a survival rate similar to that of partial responders.These findings justify discontinuation of conventional systemic chemotherapy for patients showing residual disease after SLL and secondary tumor removal in case of residual tumor at SLL. Therapeutic trials are...
Androgen Suppression Combined with Elective Nodal and Dose Escalated Radiation Therapy (the ASCENDE-RT trial): an analysis of survival endpoints for a randomized trial comparing a low-dose-rate brachytherapy boost to a dose-escalated external beam boost for high- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer...
after ejaculation. Nevertheless, it accurately measures the amount of PSA in the blood at the time that it is drawn. Once a single PSA test has been obtained, the level of the PSA on follow-up tests is not as important as the rate of change of the PSA (how quickly it is increasing)...

Our objective was to evaluate whether LND at the time of removal of prostate, kidney and urothelial carcinomas results in a survival benefit. Methods: For that purpose, we performed a systematic literature review. Results: For kidney cancer, LND might be able to cure some patients with N+ ...

Six months after surgery 86% of the patients experienced urinary continence. In some instances it has been possible to preserve the neurovascular bundle and sexual potency. What is Prostate Cancer Survival? Radical Laparoscopic Radical Perineal Radical Prostatectomy Radical Retropubic Prostate ...
