ASTRO and AUA Guideline on Radiotherapy After Prostatectomy Guideline Statement 9
HI, I am new to this forum. A bit of background, my dad passed away from PC at age 70 in 1988. In 2008, when I was 50. I was diagnosed with PC with a pre op PSA of 3.17. I had a robotic prostatectomy in May of 2008. I remained free from biochemical recurrence until January of this year, when my

Use of Rx drugs and botanical compounds to prevent chemo drug-resistance with Docetaxel.
Although it acts as a chemosensitizer and radiosensitizer for tumors in some cases, curcumin has also been shown to protect normal organs such as liver, kidney, oral mucosa, and heart from chemotherapy and
radiotherapy
-induced toxicity.

Today’s WSJ essay on the abject failure of medical science’s progress in dealing with this family of diseases and what must change.
The same three methods—surgery, chemotherapy and
radiotherapy
—have prevailed for a half-century. Consider acute myeloid leukemia, the bone-marrow malignancy that is my specialty. AML accounts for a third of all leukemia cases.

side effects of radiation
Hi All, Just a quick question about side effects of radiation. My partner Tony is Gleason 8. Had RP (removed prostate and also 7 lymph nodes - 1 was affected) and recovered very well. 2nd PET scan showed no problems, but Treatment Team decided to do everything (RP, ADT, Radio and later Chemo) to give

radiotherapy
to the Prostate. Today I had a baseline CT scan, PSA currently 50. Treatment went ok, decided to try an icecap, will see how that goes.

Still No Treatment for SCLC
I just don’t know how this has happened and it’s too advanced for
radiotherapy
. She’s hopefully starting Carboplatin and etoposide this week, but now has a cold. It’s all so upsetting and frustrating. Does this chemo even work? Is it going to be hell? Should we just not take it?

Afternoon radiotherapy reduces side effects for some patients
Radiotherapy
given to cancer patients could produce fewer crippling side effects if it is given to people at a time when they are naturally more active – so in the afternoon for people who are genetically predisposed to be late risers.

SRT Protocols?
I have problem with my PPO insurance as they partially approved my SRT treatment at "USC Noris cancer center" so I have to pay the "facility fees". The Blue Shield California said that the same treatment is available at Adventist Health Glendale, and regarding my 6 months Firmagone injections they said

Severe nausea after radiotherapy

Dermatologist says it’s just a routine apt. After saying it was skin cancer.
We have been waiting for an apt. At the hospital expecting it within 2 weeks but on chasing the apt. Found it had been put forward as routine and is scheduled for 6 weeks. Should we wait for that or get a second opinion. When the visiting dermatologist saw my daughter she told her it was likely to need

Resuming nutritional supplements after radiation therapy
I just finished 33 RT treatments last Friday. Those treatments were aimed at the 4 lymph nodes that were detected during my PSMA scan in January. The PSMA scan took place within a clinical study at Yale and was initiated due to BCR of my G9 PCa. In addition to the RT, I've been on ADT (Firmagon) and

Traditional Radiation therapy -- used everywhere/Proton Radiation therapy more targeted, safer --only in five or six centers in the U.S.
Persons prescribed radiation therapy need to know the difference between photon and proton. The proton radiation does not burn you all the way in and beyond the target. If possible refuse the traditional radiation and choose the other. Its been around for about 30 years, though some insuraqnces claim
