Long-Term Survival and PSA Control with Radiation and Immunotherapy for Node Positive Prostate Cancer
We describe a patient with node positive prostate cancer treated with radiation, androgen deprivation, and immunotherapy with long-term overall survival and PSA control. ELISPOT immunoassay studies demonstrated PSA specific T-cells prior to starting vaccine therapy suggesting that this positive response may be related to an improved antitumor immune response of the patient, increased immunogeni...

Stage I and II cases are sometimes treated with adjuvant therapy to prevent recurrence after surgical therapy; ...
متن کاملImpact of adjuvant chemotherapy with radiation for node-positive vulvar cancer: A National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) analysis.
BACKGROUND For node-positive vulvar cancer, adjuvant radiotherapy has an established benefit, whereas the impact of chemotherapy is unknown. A National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) analysis was conducted to determine patterns of care and evaluate the survival impact of adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS The NCDB was queried for vulvar cancer patients diagnosed from 1998-2011 who underwent extirpative ...
