Comparing Daily vs Weekly Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Radiation / By / / 1 minute of reading

Daily image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) may reduce the rate of late rectal toxicity vs weekly therapy, according to research being presented at the 2018 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California. Daily IGRT was, however, also associated with a greater risk of secondary cancers and worse overall survival (OS). Read the article here.

High-dose radiation therapy as effective as surgery for aggressive prostate cancer

Brachytherapy, Radiation, Radical Prostatectomy / By / / 1 minute of reading

A study by researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center provides convincing evidence that radiation-based treatments and surgery are equally effective treatments for aggressive prostate cancer. It also suggests that a particular form of radiation therapy, consisting of external radiation followed by brachytherapy (a type of radiation treatment in which a radioactive source is placed into the tumor directly) provides the best chance of preventing metastatic disease.
