How do I choose between Cyberknife (SBRT) monotherapy vs HDR Brachytherapy+EBRT?
M59, Gleason 4+3 (second opinion confirmed by Jonathan Epstein at John Hopkins), PSA7.8 average past 1 year, T2C stage. Haven't been operated or radiated before. Currently am being offered: 1) 5 fraction Cyberknife (SBRT) therapy that is concentrated to the prostate. 2) 1 time high dose rate Bracytherapy

Good News and Bad News
Saw my oncologist the other day good news the Radiotherapy worked and killed the cancer in my central chest. Bad news cancer has spread to other lymph nodes in my right collar bone left lung area and several lymph nodes in my abdomen. I am absolutely gutted didn't expect that. So going forward on 5th

Swollen legs and ankles
My legs and ankles have been swollen for a few months now and are getting worse. The skin is very red and shiny . They are more swollen during the day but more painful at night. I know this hot weather doesn’t help but I am getting so fed up. I have mentioned this to my GP and he has increased my Furosemide

Salvage treatment
Hi everyone, After another pet scan and discussions with oncologist and a radiologist, I have started salvage radiation treatment 2 weeks ago and have 5 more to go. The pet scan was clear now but PSA has been smoothly steady rising since April 2020 after 2 years of undetected PSA. Anyone knows the prognosis

Hi, My post RP PSA has been 0.3 (6 wks), 0.3 (5 months) and just rose to 0.4 (8.5 months). My current plan is to wait 3 more months to see if PSA rises/doubles. My MO at MD Anderson (Houston) has presented two possible paths if PSA continues to rise (of course hoping it will go down): 1. If PSA rises

Westminster researchers use data science approach to assess whether cancer patients will suffer side effects from radiotherapy
A new study led by the University of Westminster has used predictive AI modelling techniques to anticipate whether cancer patients are likely to develop severe side effects if treated with radiotherapy to help potentially avoid treatment interruption and cancer recurrence. The new collaborative research

Hi Frazzle You poor old thing!!! You've really been through the wringer, haven't you? Well you're in good company, I'm afraid - most of us here have similar stories to tell with difficulties making contact with our Drs and Neurologists, or Neuries as we call them. but unlike many, I can subscribe to

Nanoparticle urine test diagnoses cancer and pinpoints its location
For those who have received radiation treatment. This is a way to keep an eye on secondary cancer. Does anyone know generally how long it takes to start generating secondary cancer? Nanoparticle urine test diagnoses cancer and pinpoints its location The method by which the nanoparticles detect cancer

Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment
Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment A long-standing problem with cancer radiation therapy is that it is not effective at the center of tumors where oxygen levels are low due to the lack of blood vessels penetrating deeply into the tissue. X-ray irradiation needs oxygen to generate DNA-damaging

‘100,000 parameters’: WVU researcher leads effort to reduce data-transfer error in radiation therapy.
Just as helicopter traffic reporters use their "bird's eye view" to route drivers around roadblocks safely, radiation oncologists treating a variety of cancers can use new guidelines developed by a West Virginia University researcher to reduce mistakes in data transfer and more safely treat their patients

Advice needed on bone trauma
My skeleton is riddled with bone cancer, but since diagnosis December ’17 docetaxel, abiraterone and last Christmas, targeted radiotherapy on my prostate have kept things in check. However, two months ago I fell and badly bruised my left ribs, still twinging even now. The subsequent bone trauma increased

Understanding the Abscopal Effect and its Potential Role in Developing a Cure for Cancer-Part 2-Possible Ways to Ensure the Abscopal Effect
In my introduction on the abscopal effect, we left off with the concepts of ensuring the effect and lastly, prolonging the effect. At his time, I would like to review possible ways to ensure/expand the abscopal effect. In the article, they discussed using GM-CSF during treatment. GM-CSF is Granulocyte-macrophage
