Early experience in MRI-guided therapies of prostate cancer: HIFU, laser and photodynamic treatment
Prostate cancer screening has resulted in earlier diagnosis with lower-grade disease, leading to over-detection and over-treatment in a significant number of patients. Current whole-gland radical treatments are associated with significant rates of morbidity. The high prevalence of low-risk disease together with an inability to accurately identify those men harboring more aggressive cancers has ...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملPost-treatment MRI aspects of photodynamic therapy for prostate cancer
OBJECTIVES Photodynamic therapy is a new focal therapy for prostate cancer. METHODS In this technique, a photosensitising agent is introduced intravenously, then activated by local laser illumination to induce tumour necrosis. Treatment efficacy is assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We illustrate specific post-treatment MRI aspects at early and late follow...
