The primary goal of radical radiation therapy in men with localized prostate carcinoma is
cure and a secondary but important goal is to achieve cure without treatment related …

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 asses the factors that predict late GI and GU morbidity in radiation treatment of
the prostate. Methods and Materials: Seven hundred twelve consecutive prostate cancer …

Purpose: To compare the prostate volumes defined on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
and noncontrast computerized tomographic (CT) scans used for three-dimensional (3D) …

Extensive studies have been published supporting the initial observation of Huggins and
Hodges1 that androgen ablation is an effective palliative therapy for men with symptomatic …

Purpose: To study the effects on gastrointestinal and urological acute morbidity, a
randomized toxicity study, comparing conventional and three-dimensional conformal …

Background: Accurate modeling of late rectal reactions needs the collection of individual 3D
dose–volume data (ie DVH) as well as clinical information of large cohorts of patients. The …

Purpose: To compare conformal radiotherapy using three dimensional treatment planning
(3D-CRT) to conventional radiotherapy (Conven-RT) for patients with Stages T2–T4 …

Purpose: To examine prostate and seminal vesicles position late in the course of radiation
therapy and to determine the effect and predictive value of the bladder and rectum on …

Background. Pelvic irradiation to patients with prostate cancer is accompanied by urinary
and intestinal reactions. In men older than 60 years, treatment‐induced problems should be …
