Early toxicity of moderate hypofractionated volumetric modulated Arc radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: Based on the radiation biology model of prostate cancer, hypofractionated radiotherapy can improve the treatment outcomes without increasing toxicity. Although hypofractionated radiotherapy is implemented over a short period of time, it is more convenient and cheaper compared with conventional fractionated treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the early toxicity of mod...
متن کاملHypofractionated External-Beam Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
There are radiobiological rationales supporting hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The recent advancements in treatment planning and delivery allow sophisticated radiation treatments to take advantage of the differences in radiobiology of prostate cancer and the surrounding normal tissues. The preliminary results from clinical studies indicate that abbreviated fractionation prog...
متن کاملSelf-assessed bowel toxicity after external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer - predictive factors on irritative symptoms, incontinence and rectal bleeding
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate self-assessed bowel toxicity after radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer. In contrast to rectal bleeding, information concerning irritative symptoms (rectal urgency, pain) and incontinence after RT has not been adequately documented and reported in the past. METHODS Patients (n = 286) have been surveyed prospectively before (A), at the last day ...
متن کاملPrediction of gastrointestinal toxicity after external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity is a common effect following radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer. Purpose of the present work is to compare two Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) modelling approaches for prediction of late radio-induced GI toxicity after prostate external beam radiotherapy. METHODS The study includes 84 prostate cancer patients evaluated for late r...
متن کاملExternal Beam Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer
For the first time in their history, the 2 medical organizations most responsible for the treatment of prostate cancer in the United States—the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the American Urological Association (AUA)—have issued a joint guideline, a series of 9 major statements on the use of radiation therapy (either adjuvant or salvage) after prostatectomy. The statements ...
