Radiotherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy improves overall survival up to 10 years

The long-term follow up of the NRG Oncology trial RTOG 9408, studying the addition of short-term androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiotherapy (RT) for men with early, localized prostate adenocarcinoma, indicated that RT combined with ADT is superior to RT alone for overall survival up to 10.4 years following treatment.

Patient-reported data confirms efficacy of brachytherapy alone in intermediate risk prostate cancer

Oncology trial RTOG 0232 comparing a combined treatment of external beam therapy and brachytherapy to transperineal interstitial permanent brachytherapy alone indicate a significantly different clinician and patient-reported late toxicity profile between arms despite similarities in progression-free survival results.

Prostate radiotherapy improves survival in men with low burden of metastatic disease

Radiotherapy to the prostate improves overall survival in men newly diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer who have a low metastatic disease burden but not in those with higher burden of disease, according to results from a pre-planned analysis of a large comparison study reported at ESMO 2018.

Radiotherapy can prolong survival in prostate cancer

A new major study from London has shown that radiotherapy can extend survival among patients with prostate cancer. The study shows that larger number of patients given standard therapy along with radiation therapy survived three years after the initiation of the study despite having a local spread of their cancer.

$New guideline supports hypofractionated radiation therapy for men with prostate cancer$

New guideline supports hypofractionated radiation therapy for men with prostate cancer

Three prominent medical societies today issued a new clinical guideline for physicians treating men with early-stage prostate cancer using external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Adoption of the guideline could make treatment shorter and more convenient for many patients with prostate cancer, the most common malignancy among American men.
