Cancer registries in Europe—going forward is the only option
Cancer registries (CR) are the fundamental source of objective cancer data, and thus are indispensable for the evaluation of the cancer burden and for design of effective cancer control plans. Their potential roles spread far beyond epidemiological research, from the exploration of the causes of cancer to health economics, from the evaluation of mass screening programmes to monitoring the quali...
متن کاملCyberKnife radiosurgery for prostate cancer.
Treatment of prostate cancer with SBRT is an area of significant controversy for many in the radiation oncology community despite radiobiologic data that strongly suggest the prostate would be an excellent SBRT target. Recently, new data have emerged that show promising outcomes with minimal toxicity for CyberKnife SBRT of prostate cancer. In the following we present the motivating factors for ...
متن کاملDosimetric impacts of endorectal balloon in CyberKnife stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early‐stage prostate cancer
PURPOSE In SBRT for prostate cancer, higher fractional dose to the rectum is a major toxicity concern due to using smaller PTV margin and hypofractionation. We investigate the dosimetric impact on rectum using endorectal balloon (ERB) in prostate SBRT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty prostate cancer patients were included in a retrospective study, ten with ERB and 10 without ERB. Optimized SBRT ...
متن کاملProstate-specific antigen kinetics after hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...
متن کاملCyberKnife in the treatment of prostate cancer: a revolutionary system.
The CyberKnife is a frameless advanced robotic system that uses image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for stereotactic radiosurgery technique in intraand extracranial lesions. The CyberKnife has also revolutionised the use of radiosurgery to treat tumours in different parts of the body. This system represents, after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), a ...
