New Primary Malignancy Masquerading as Metastatic Prostate Adenocarcinoma
In the management of patients with prostate cancer, the development of new radiographic findings can mimic progression of the disease, thereby triggering changes in treatment. Typically, clinicians evaluate additional parameters, such as symptoms and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, for further evidence of disease progression. In the absence of additional findings, for example, elevated ...
متن کاملThe effect of Rectal Retractor, a rectal protector on rectal dose in radical prostate radiotherapy
Introduction: The close proximity of the rectum tissue to the prostate gland results in rectal toxicity during prostate radiotherapy. Rectal Retractor (RR) is a rectal displacement technique that inserts into the rectum, as a result, the lateral and dorsal part of the rectal wall push away from high dose areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric consequence...

متن کاملα-Foetoprotein–producing Primary Rectal Adenocarcinoma
This report is of a 44-year-old woman with an α -foetoprotein–producing rectal adenocarcinoma. At presentation, her serum α-foetoprotein was 158,334 μg/L, and investigation excluded other causes, such as gynaecological malignancy, hepatocellular carcinoma, germ cell tumour, or hepatoid adenocarcinoma. The patient developed early distant metastasis despite treatment with 5-fluorouracil-based che...
متن کاملProstate IMRT: Two-dimensional model of rectal NTCP employing the variability of rectal motion and rectum wall thickness
Background: In order to improve the evaluation of possible rectal toxicity based on the rectal normal tissue complication probability (NTCP), we consider the fractional dependence of the NTCP on the wall thickness (tW) and rectal displacement (RM). Materials and Methods: The two-dimensional NTCP model (NTCP2D) was developed using radiotherapy plans of ten randomly selected patients with prostat...
