Comparison of rigid and deformable coregistration between mpMRI and CT images in radiotherapy of prostate bed cancer recurrence - PubMed

Comparison of rigid and deformable coregistration between mpMRI and CT images in radiotherapy of prostate bed cancer recurrence - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34847400/

Rigid image coregistration is sufficiently accurate in this setting. The results indicate that the deformable registration tends to shrink the voxels and to dislocate the ROI, the adopted expansion for...


Conclusions: Rigid image coregistration is sufficiently accurate in this setting. The results indicate that the deformable registration tends to shrink the voxels and to dislocate the ROI, the adopted expansion for the recurrence volume adequately accounts for the observed deformation and dislocation, provided that organ filling is controlled.

Dose-escalated pelvic radiotherapy for prostate cancer in definitive or postoperative setting - La radiologia medica

Dose-escalated pelvic radiotherapy for prostate cancer in definitive or postoperative setting - La radiologia medica

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11547-021-01435-8

Purpose Given the absence of standardized planning approach for clinically node-positive (cN1) prostate cancer (PCa), we collected data about the use of prophylactic pelvic irradiation and nodal boost. The aim...


Conclusion: Results from the current analysis are in keeping with data from literature showing that pelvic irradiation and boost on positive nodes are effective approaches. Upfront surgical approach was not associated with better clinical outcomes.

Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities in Combined Radiation and Hormonal Therapies - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34861998/

Androgen receptor signaling blockade is perhaps the first example of targeted therapy in the treatment of cancer. Since the initial observations that prostate cancers depend on hormone signaling, hormonal therapies...


Conclusion/Relevance: In this review we highlight key clinical trials designed to study combinations of hormonal and radiotherapies and introduce recent discoveries into the complex biology of androgen receptor signaling and DNA damage and repair. These emerging mechanistic and translational studies may have profound implications on both our...
