The 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 کاملNomogram to predict rectal toxicity following prostate cancer radiotherapy
BACKGROUND To identify predictors of acute and late rectal toxicity following prostate cancer radiotherapy (RT), while integrating the potential impact of RT technique, dose escalation, and moderate hypofractionation, thus enabling us to generate a nomogram for individual prediction. METHODS In total, 972 patients underwent RT for localized prostate cancer, to a total dose of 70 Gy or 80 Gy, ...
متن کاملMinimal Rectal Toxicity in the Setting of Comorbid Crohn’s Disease Following Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy with a Hydrogel Rectal Spacer
We present one of the first cases of a prostate cancer (PCa) patient with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and a hydrogel rectal spacer. A 73-year-old male with a past medical history significant for Crohn's disease (CD) and the recent diagnosis of T1cN0M0 high-risk PCa was referred for definitive radiotherapy. Given the patient's history of ...
متن کاملAdjuvant radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Men who have a radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer that does not involve lymph nodes, but extends beyond the prostate capsule into the seminal vesicles or to surgical margins, are at increased risk of relapse. In men with these high risk factors, radiotherapy (RT) directed at the prostate bed after surgery may reduce this risk, and be curative. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the...
متن کاملRadical Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
1. There have been no randomised trials comparing brachytherapy or IMRT with conventional radiotherapy. 2. ADJUVANT radiotherapy has recently been shown to improve progression-free survival after radical surgery in patients with tumour at excision margins or infiltrating seminal vesicles. 3. Hormone therapy improves outcomes (progression free survival and survival) after radical radiotherapy fo...
