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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

CT imaging is the foundation of precision in radiation therapy planning, delivering accuracy to guide treatment. But as oncology teams face mounting demands for precision, efficiency, and consistency ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
