Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a significant advance in cancer imaging with great
potential for optimizing radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning and thereby improving …

Intensity modulated radiotherapy represents a significant advance in conformal
radiotherapy. In particular, it allows the delivery of dose distributions with concave isodose …

Purpose: A randomized radiotherapy dose escalation trial was undertaken between 1993
and 1998 to compare the efficacy of 70 vs. 78 Gy in controlling prostate cancer. Methods and …

PURPOSE: To report the incidence and predictors of treatment-related toxicity at 10 years
after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated …

Background Radical radiotherapy is commonly used to treat localised prostate cancer. Late
chronic side-effects limit the dose that can be given, and may be linked to the volume of …

Purpose To determine if iridium implant (IM) and external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is
better than standard EBRT in locally advanced prostate cancer. Methods Patients with T2 …

PURPOSE: To compare acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) side
effects in prostate cancer patients randomized to receive 68 Gy or 78 Gy. METHODS AND …

Purpose To assess the benefit and toxicity and quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes of pelvic
nodes irradiation in nonmetastatic prostate carcinoma patients. Patients and Methods …

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of radiotherapy dose on prostate cancer patient outcome
and biopsy positivity in a phase III trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 305 stage T1 …
