SpaceOAR Hydrogel reduces radiation exposure to the rectum, minimizing bowel-related side effects in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. A study showed a 25% reduction in bowel ...
Prostatectomy and radiation therapy show no survival difference for low-risk prostate cancer, but higher-risk cases require careful treatment consideration. The ProtecT trial supports active ...
However, men with higher PSA levels did show modest improvements in survival, suggesting that hormone therapy might be worthwhile for them. PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is produced by the prostate ...
According to data from two phase III trials presented at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, patients with high-risk prostate cancer had a significantly ...
In patients undergoing RP with adjuvant radiation, PLND showed no survival benefit, regardless of prostate cancer risk group or number of lymph nodes removed. Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) ...
A new study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests that adding hormone therapy to post ...
For men who undergo a radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer, post-surgery radiation therapy can play a vital role in reducing the risk of recurrence. Despite its benefits, many ...
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to wait long to take the next step. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, moving from active surveillance ...
