Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy

Regular prostate cancer screenings can help detect the disease early when it is more treatable.

Combining radiation treatment with 'suicide gene therapy' - a technique in which prostate cancer cells are genetically modified so they signal a patient's immune system to attack them - provides an effective two-pronged punch against the disease, new research shows.

Practicing yoga can improve quality of life of men with prostate cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy, says a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher.

A new radiation therapy, which has already been in use to treat prostate, brain, and head and neck cancers, also reduces chemotherapy side effects when administered in those afflicted with lung cancer, new research has found.

The billionaire investor broke the news Friday while speaking to a group of executives from newspapers he owns telling them that he had his 44th and last day of radiation therapy.

Acupuncture might help reduce the hot flashes that frequently affect prostate cancer patients while they're on hormone therapy.

Just six months of hormone therapy, along with radiation, cuts the risk of dying from locally advanced prostate cancer in half when compared to radiation alone.

Prostate size affects the technical difficulty of radical prostatectomy - total surgical removal of the prostate gland as a treatment for prostate cancer - but not the functional results.

Prostatectomy offers longer survival rates than radiation therapy, careful monitoring, or hormone therapy for men with localised prostate cancer.

Therapy with focused radiation beams for prostate cancer does not raise the risk of developing bladder cancer.

Staying active and moderate walking helps prevent fatigue in men undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Among men who have undergone radical surgery for advanced prostate cancer, early radiation therapy improves long-term survival, according to recent research.

The surgical removal of the prostate gland can help some men suffering from prostate cancer to urinate better. In contrast with other treatments, such as radiation therapy, which may actually make urination worse.
