A new study reveals that only about 1 in 3 patients with prostate cancer have a successful first CT simulation, while 1 in 6 need to be rescheduled for another day.

The IAEA is launching a year-long coordinated research project to develop computed tomography-based guidelines on prostate cancer contouring — a critical step in the cancer treatment process that guid ...

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 ...

A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on May 20, 2024, entitled, "Deep learning-assisted lesion segmentation in PET/CT imaging: A feasibility study for salvage radiation ...

When planning for palliative radiotherapy, clinicians can forgo an additional CT scan on the same day as treatment and instead use a recent diagnostic CT scan, according to a results from a randomized ...

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.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and remains a significant cause of cancer-related death. With increasing life expectancy, its incidence is projected to rise steadily in the ...

Using MRI instead of CT guidance to zero in on prostate tumors enables more precise delivery of SBRT and lowers side effect rates. MRI vs CT guidance reduces side effects from prostate cancer ...

After a comprehensive two-year follow-up, researchers found that MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer significantly reduced long-term side effects and improved quality ...

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 ...

As part of the “Speaking Out” series, a radiation oncologist discusses the benefits of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy. Dr. Matthew Solhjem, a radiation oncologist with Providence ...
