Can immune cells predict disease recurrence after prostate surgery?
This study evaluated whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can predict disease recurrence after treatment with prostate surgery. Researchers reported a strong association between high NLR and disease recurrence after prostate surgery.

Different radiation therapy schedules: Hyopfractioned EBRT is as effective as standard EBRT
This study compared the safety and effectiveness of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and hypofractioned EBRT (H-EBRT) for localized prostate cancer. Researchers reported no differences in survival or disease recurrence rates between high H-EBRT and EBRT.
