Change in prostate volume during extreme hypo-fractionation analysed with MRI
BACKGROUND Hypo-fractionated external beam radiotherapy with narrow CTV-PTV margins is increasingly applied for prostate cancer. This demands a precise target definition and knowledge on target location and extension during treatment. It is unclear how increase in fraction size affects changes in prostate volume during treatment. Our aim was to study prostate volume changes during extreme hypo-...
متن کاملcomparison of prostate and bladder volume measurements from mri and pre- and post-mri ultrasound images
background : safe dose escalation is highly desirable in radiotherapy for prostate cancer. prostate displacement due to bladder filling can be significant, so improved targeting of the prostate by ultrasound imaging potentially allows for a reduction in the target margin and consequently less toxicity. this study estimates the accuracy of ultrasound for prostate and bladder volume measurements ...

متن کاملSevere Hypo- -Lipoproteinemia During Treatment With Rosiglitazone
Thiazolidinedione drugs are in widespread use for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, they generally result in a modest elevation of plasma HDL cholesterol. We report three patients, all of whom had preexisting diabetic dyslipidemia, who showed a profound reduction in plasma HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI levels soon after the initiation of ros...
