Tissue Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States. Most men have localized disease diagnosed following an elevated serum prostate specific antigen test for cancer screening purposes. Standard treatment options consist of surgery or definitive radiation therapy directed by clinical factors that are organized into risk stratificatio...
متن کاملRadiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Public concern on the radiation therapy for prostate cancer has increased recently. The leading causes of this phenomenon are thought of as popularization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement and having been able to tell the curable patients apart by means of the accom‐ plished risk classifications. Massive development of radiation therapy technology also seems to be one of the leadin...
متن کاملComparison of Radiobiological Models for Radiation Therapy Plans of Prostate Cancer: Three-dimensional Conformal versus Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...
متن کاملThe Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...
متن کاملPostoperative Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a common problem for US men. Once patients are initially diagnosed, they are often treated with either surgery or radiation therapy. For those whose initial treatment is radical prostatectomy, recurrences of cancer can be detected at an early stage by monitoring the blood levels of prostatic specific antigen (PSA). Once the PSA level becomes detectable, radiation therapy deli...
