Analysis of Hip Joint Dose in Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: A Dosimetric Comparison of Treatment Plans
Background and purpose: Radiation therapy as a part of cancer treatment is used in almost 50-60% of involved cases. In prostate cancer radiation therapy, a large volume of pelvis is irradiated, so, it is necessary to preserve sensitive organs around the treatment area, especially rectum and bladder. In this study, some dosimetric parameters such as minimum dose (Dmin), maximum dose (Dmax), mean...
متن کاملPost-treatment MRI aspects of photodynamic therapy for prostate cancer
OBJECTIVES Photodynamic therapy is a new focal therapy for prostate cancer. METHODS In this technique, a photosensitising agent is introduced intravenously, then activated by local laser illumination to induce tumour necrosis. Treatment efficacy is assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We illustrate specific post-treatment MRI aspects at early and late follow...

متن کاملStriving Toward a Cure for Prostate Cancer.
Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is essential for cancer cell proliferation throughout much, if not all, of the course of a patient’s journey through prostate cancer. Discovery of the AR in the late 1960s prompted development of antiandrogen drugs that competitively inhibit binding of androgens to the AR ligandbinding domain (LBD), leading to conformational changes in AR that disrupt its functi...
متن کاملProstate cancer stem cells: molecular characterization for targeted therapy.
he article published recently in Cell Stem Cell from the laboratory of Dr Tang showed the existence and molecular fingerprints of prostate cancer stem cells (CSCs), and this report opens newer avenues for developing and designing novel therapeutic strategies for targeted elimination of these CSCs toward prostate cancer therapy. Prostate cancer (PCa) statistics are alarming, and the disease pose...
