Radiotherapy? Did you know of the ONGOING effects?

It's either inflammation or the results of radiotherapy. Me : But I had the radiotherapy well over 30 years ago . Him : Yes, but the effects are on - going. Me : Flabbergasted & speechless! My GP says that they were unaware of the long term effects 30 years ago.It's either inflammation or the results of radiotherapy. Me : But I had the radiotherapy well over 30 years ago .

Short-Term ADT Combined With Radiotherapy as Salvage Treatment After Radical Prostatectomy

Salvage radiotherapy plus ADT was associated with 120-month progression-free survival of 64% versus 49% for radiotherapy alone. •The addition of ADT to salvage radiotherapy reduces the risk of progression and death compared with radiotherapy alone.Salvage radiotherapy plus ADT was associated with 120-month progression-free survival of 64% versus 49% for radiotherapy alone. •The addition of ADT to salvage radiotherapy reduces the risk of progression and death compared with radiotherapy alone.

The impact of salvage radiotherapy

I have been referred by my surgeon to an oncologist and have been advised by them that as my PSA level is .16 I may need radiotherapy depending on next result. I am also having an investigation of my colon as I get IBS as well and radiotherapy might not be appropriate.I have been referred by my surgeon to an oncologist and have been advised by them that as my PSA level is .16 I may need radiotherapy depending on next result.

Radiotherapy treatment for VT ( Mail on Sunday article)

I have just read an article in the Mail, via Google, about new radiotherapy treatment in Newcastle for ventricular problems. My computer skills are too poor to attempt to copy this. Please could someone help as it's an interesting development. Many thanks.I have just read an article in the Mail, via Google, about new radiotherapy treatment in Newcastle for ventricular problems.
