In the absence of trials, a post hoc analysis compared stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) in intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
There are no randomized trials to guide treatment decisions between radiotherapeutic and surgical options for patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer. Comparative studies have been limited ...
In prostate cancer, prostate brachytherapy boost improves biochemical failure at 10 years but does not prolong long-term OS compared to EBRT boost.
SBRT reduced biochemical failure and acute GU toxicity compared with HDR brachytherapy in intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Read more about the findings.
Study of the dosimetry, safety, and potential benefit of 177Lu-PSMA-617 radionuclide therapy prior to radical prostatectomy in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer (LuTectomy study).
Brachytherapy is a form of localized radiation therapy involving the direct placement of radioactive material close to or inside a tumor. Brachytherapy varies by dose, mode of delivery and the ...
In the long term, stereotactic body radiotherapy carries a lower risk for biochemical failure vs high-dose rate brachytherapy for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
Brachytherapy is ideally suited for treatment of early prostate cancer and was first used as a treatment modality 60 years ago. Brachytherapy is used to treat cancers of the head and neck, breast, ...
Brachytherapy is a form of localized radiation treatment used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The side effects associated with this therapy depend on several factors including: The tumour type ...
Pelvic second malignancy occurred twice as often after brachytherapy for prostate cancer as compared with radical prostatectomy, a large retrospective review showed. Second pelvic malignancy -- ...
Radiation to prevent coronary arteries from re-narrowing after the implantation of cardiac stents, a briefly popular idea mostly abandoned a decade ago, may be making a comeback. A number of hospitals ...
