Urinary quality of life outcomes in men who were treated with image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy for prostate cancer
PURPOSE Quality of life (QoL) outcomes play a major role in the treatment selection for prostate cancer (CaP). We evaluated the urinary QoL outcomes in men who were treated with image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) for CaP. METHODS AND MATERIALS We enrolled men who were diagnosed with CaP and underwent IG-IMRT in a large urological group practice into a prospectively m...
متن کاملImage-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in gastrointestinal tumors.
CONTEXT Daily setup errors and changes in body habitus during external beam radiotherapy can result in interfraction variation, contributing to uncertainties in treatment delivery. The conventional method of patient positioning using external skin markings is inadequate in reducing these interfraction variations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate use of on-board imaging with daily kV-kV image matching to...
متن کاملPotential Applications of Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Radiation Dose Escalation in Patients with Early Stage High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Patients with early stage high-risk prostate cancer (prostate specific antigen > 20, Gleason score > 7) are at high risk of recurrence following prostate cancer irradiation. Radiation dose escalation to the prostate may improve biochemical-free survival for these patients. However, high rectal and bladder dose with conventional three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy may lead to excessive gast...
متن کاملTomotherapy as a tool in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT): current clinical experience and outcomes
Modern radiotherapy is characterised by a better target definition through medical imaging accompanied by significantly improved radiation delivery methods, most notably Intensity-Modulate Radiation Therapy (IMRT). However, the treatment can only be as accurate as the positioning of patients for their daily radiotherapy fraction. It is in this context that a number of imaging modalities - rangi...
متن کاملClinical and biochemical outcomes of men undergoing radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer
PURPOSE We analyzed outcomes of patients with prostate cancer undergoing either radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) +/- salvage radiation or definitive radiation therapy (RT) +/- androgen deprivation. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2003-2010 there were 251 patients who underwent RRP and 469 patients who received RT (≥7,560 cGy) for prostate cancer. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed with the ...
