Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of salvage radiotherapy combined with hormone therapy in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after prostate surgery.

Posted by Medivizor on Jul 7, 2024 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of salvage radiotherapy (RT) combined with hormone therapy in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP; prostate removal surgery). This study found that salvage RT combined with hormone therapy was more effective than salvage RT...

Evaluating the effectiveness of adding short-term androgen deprivation therapy with or without pelvic lymph node treatment to prostate bed salvage radiotherapy in patients with resected prostate cancer.

In a nutshell This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of adding short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with or without pelvic lymph node radiotherapy (PLNRT) to prostate bed salvage radiotherapy (PBRT) after surgery in patients with prostate cancer (PC). The study found that adding short-term ADT and PLNRT to PBRT significantly improved...

Evaluating the benefits of radiotherapy dose escalation and the addition of short-term or long-term androgen deprivation therapy in men with localized prostate cancer.

In a nutshell This study evaluated the benefits of radiation therapy (RT) dose escalation and the addition of short-term (ST) or long-term (LT) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to RT in men with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The data showed that the addition of ST or LT-ADT to RT improved survival without metastasis in these patients,...

Reviewing chemotherapy and hormonal therapy before prostate surgery in patients with prostate cancer

Posted by Medivizor on Jun 14, 2022 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell The review investigated the effects of neoadjuvant chemo-hormonal therapy (NCHT; chemotherapy and hormonal therapy before surgery) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). The results showed that compared to patients who received prostate surgery alone, NCHT before prostate surgery improved the oncological outcomes of these...

Evaluating the long-term functional and oncological outcomes after open versus robot-assisted prostate surgery for localized prostate cancer.

Posted by Medivizor on Oct 24, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study evaluated the long-term functional and oncological outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) for the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). This study found that RALP was associated with better oncological outcomes compared to...

Comparing the outcomes between prostate surgery and different types of radiotherapy in older patients with prostate cancer.

Posted by Medivizor on Sep 27, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared the outcomes between radical prostatectomy (RP; prostate-removal surgery) and different types of radiotherapy (RT) in older patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that RT offers similar cancer-specific outcomes to RP for low- to intermediate-risk patients. Some background...

Comparing the outcomes of transvesical or posterior robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.

Posted by Medivizor on Aug 22, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared 2 approaches of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for the treatment of localized prostate cancer (PCa). The authors concluded that both transvesical (T) and posterior (P) approaches had similar results in these patients. Some background Localized prostate cancer (PCa) is cancer that is...

Treating castration-resistant prostate cancer that has not spread using new hormonal therapies

Posted by Medivizor on Aug 15, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study analyzed the effectiveness and safety of new hormonal therapies (nHTs) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The authors concluded that nHT improved the outcomes of these patients. Some background CRPC is an aggressive type of prostate cancer that is resistant to androgen...

Does nerve-sparing status impact surgical margin location for recurrence of prostate cancer after prostate surgery?

Posted by Medivizor on Aug 15, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This article looked at the impact of nerve-sparing (NS) surgery on positive surgical margin (PSM) location and the recurrence of tumors in patients following radical prostatectomy (RP; prostate removal surgery). The authors found that having NS surgery on both sides of the prostate increased the risk of PSM and was associated with a higher...

Reducing unnecessary blood tests after robot assisted prostate surgery

Posted by Medivizor on Aug 8, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study evaluated the safety of eliminating routine postoperative blood tests after conducting robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) and proposed recommendations for their use. Some background Localized prostate cancer (PCa) refers to cancer that is confined to the prostate...

Evaluating hypofractionated radiotherapy after prostate surgery in patients with prostate cancer.

$Evaluating hypofractionated radiotherapy after prostate surgery in patients with prostate cancer.$

In a nutshell This study investigated the outcomes of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (H-IMRT) to the prostate bed in patients with localized prostate cancer after prostate surgery. The data showed that H-IMRT after prostate surgery was safe and well-tolerated in these patients. Some background Localized prostate cancer...

Evaluating the association between the lowest PSA value after prostate surgery and the occurrence of biochemical recurrence in patients with localized prostate cancer

Posted by Medivizor on Jul 11, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study investigated the association between the lowest PSA value after radical prostatectomy (RP; surgery to remove the prostate) and the occurrence of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that a higher PSA value after RP and a shorter time to reach this...
