Is proton therapy safer than traditional radiation therapyin tx of prostate cancer?
There is very limited data showing the efficacy of proton beam radiation in the treatment of prostate cancer. This type of treatment is not the gold standard and much more expensive that the gold standard treatments with cure rates around 98% in the early stages. Proton Beam costs about $80,000 versus $40,000 for IMRT, $25,000 for Cyberknife and $15,000 for a prostate seed implant.
Identifying and Diagnosing Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland, which is part of the male reproductive system and which lies in the lower abdominal cavity. Although cancer of the prostate can, by itself, be fatal, it is not a leading cause of death as the disease usually manifests itself in older men who then die of other causes. Prostate cancer symptoms are extremely difficult to identify, and, in almost 50% of all known cases, sufferers do not display any symptoms at all until the disease is far advanced. Those symptoms that can be experienced in the condition’s early stages include hematuria (blood in the urine), urinary retention and urinary urgency. Prostate cancer sufferers also commonly experience pain in the legs or lower back, but the problem is that all of the aforementioned symptoms are not limited to cancer of the prostate and can easily be indicative of other ailments. Further symptoms may also manifest themselves once the cancer metastasizes to other organs, and these could include lower limb edema (swelling), bone pain and possible bone fractures as well as weight loss. The fact that the cancer has metastasized, though, indicates that it is extremely far advanced, and, at that point in the process, treatment options are somewhat limited. It is extremely difficult to diagnose prostate cancer, given that the disease sometimes displays no symptoms whatsoever and that those symptoms that might be displayed can be indicative of a number of different illnesses. Should a patient be experiencing symptoms usually associated with the disease, it is recommended that he undergo a full rectal examination - possibly including a cystoscopy and a transrectal ultrasound - to see whether the prostate is enlarged. Should it be suspected that a patient may have prostate cancer, a prostate biopsy is usually performed, and this would indeed indicate whether or not a tumor is in evidence. Once it has been established that a tumor has indeed developed, further diagnostic tools are used to discover the extent of the tumor and whether or not the cancer has metastasized (spread to non-adjacent organs). Although prostate cancer can be fatal, it can also be successfully managed should it be detected early enough. Further tags: cancer of the prostate prostate cancer symptoms diagnose prostate cancer
Describe an example of how a tracer may be used to diagnose a medical problem?
Radiation therapy has several applications in non-malignant conditions, such as the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, acoustic neuromas, severe thyroid eye disease, pterygium, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and prevention of keloid scar growth, vascularrestenosis, and heterotopic ossification. The use of radiation therapy in non-malignant conditions is limited partly by worries about the risk of radiation-induced cancers.
