Using guidelines published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), this is the first study to investigate the association between urologist characteristics and radiation oncologist consultation for patients with locoregional prostate cancer.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a major therapeutic option for localized prostate cancer. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) allows tumor visualization and corrects the errors caused by daily internal movement of the prostate.
Radiation therapy (RT) is a curative treatment modality for localized prostate cancer. Over the past two decades, advances in technology and imaging have considerably changed RT in prostate cancer treatment.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - Listen to Dr. Deepak A. Kapoor, president of the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA) and chairman and CEO of Integrated Medical Professionals, PLLC, in an exclusive commentary for UroToday.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - This work aimed at developing and evaluating an in vivo dosimetry system based on plastic scintillation detectors (PSDs). In vivo dosimetry is an increasingly important part of radiotherapy.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The study in men with prostate volumes ≥ 100cc who underwent prostate brachytherapy sets a new standard by increasing the opportunity for men with large glands to be offered this treatment option.
Prostate cancer treatment with definitive radiation therapy (RT) has evolved dramatically in the past 2 decades. From the initial 2-dimensional planning using X-rays, advances in technology led to 3-dimensional conformal RT, which used computerized tomography-based planning.
