In 5-10 percent of patients who receive radiation therapy for prostate cancer, there is a side effect of radiation therapy that can show up months to years later --hemorrhagic cystitis. Radiation was given to the prostate to kill the cancer cells, so why is there a problem with the bladder?
Because of proton therapy’s accuracy, many of the side effects of radiation treatment can be significantly reduced. This means a much lower chance of side effects such as incontinence or impotence in prostate cancer patients. It also means a return to normal, daily life and activities. 相关...
Getting access to samples will become increasingly important as approaches for the molecular profiling of tumours improve. Credit: Anne-Christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Over the past century, the two main approaches to treating people with cancer — surgery and radiation — have focused on where in the...
In a 2015 study in the Journal of Community and Supportive Oncology, researchers followed patients who were visited by therapy dogs while receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatments for gastrointestinal or head and neck cancers. “Having an animal-assisted visit significantly improved their quality of...
SpaceOAR Hydrogel is intended to temporarily move the rectal wall away from the prostate during the course of radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer, and in creating this space it is the intent of SpaceOAR Hydrogel to reduce the radiation dose affecting the rectum. ...
