Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy beams or subatomic particles to damage the DNA inside prostate cancer cells. After enough damage, the cells cannot multiply, and they die.

Radiation therapy is often thought of as a treatment that only has a role in early-stage disease. This is no longer the case, and this approach to treatment can be used in several different ways even ...

For many men with prostate cancer, weeks of daily treatments are no longer the norm. Jonathan Tward, MD, a radiation oncologist at Huntsman Cancer Institute, explains how image guidance, real-time ...

The precision radiotherapy uses higher doses of radiation and fires beams at the tumour from multiple directions, allowing ...

Long-term results from a phase 3 study showed that adding a focal boost to standard external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) improved 10-year biochemical disease-free survival (DFS) and reduced biochemical ...

Treatment with five-fraction SBRT for prostate cancer may be more convenient than receiving traditional radiation therapy techniques, an expert said. For patients with low- to intermediate-risk ...

Brachytherapy and proton therapy are radiation therapies, while HIFU and TULSA are focal therapies with distinct mechanisms. Medicare typically covers HIFU but not TULSA, with potential future ...

People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy - proton beam therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) - ...

A large trial of people with earlier stages of prostate cancer compared two types of external radiation treatments head-to-head—proton beam therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy, or ...

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 ...
