The study -- the first trial to publish five-year results from SBRT treatment for prostate cancer -- found a 98.6 percent cure rate with SBRT, a noninvasive form of radiation treatment that involves high-dose radiation beams entering the body through various angles and intersecting at the desired target. It is a state-of-the-art technology that allows for a concentrated dose to reach the tumor while limiting the radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue. 'The high cure rate is striking when compared to the reported five-year cure rates from other approaches like surgery or conventional radiation, which range between 80 to 90 percent, while the side effects of this treatment are comparable to other types of treatment,' said Dr.

Raquibul Hannan, Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology and lead author for the study. 'What we now have is a more potent and effective form of completely noninvasive treatment for prostate cancer, conveniently completed in five treatments.'

Conventional treatment options for early stage prostate cancer include: • Prostatectomy, the surgical removal of the prostate gland, which can be done with minimally invasive techniques and robotic assistance; • Brachytherapy, in which doctors implant numerous small radioactive seeds about the size of a grain of rice into the prostate gland using multiple large needles inserted through the skin in the operating room. Once implanted, the seeds release their radioactivity directly into the prostate gland; and • External beam radiation, which involves 42 to 45 treatments administered over two or more months, five days a week. 'The current form of radiation is 44 treatments given over nine weeks. In contrast, the SBRT therapy we used allows the delivery of highly focused radiation in only five treatments, allowing patients to return to their normal lives more quickly,' said senior author Dr.

UT Southwestern served as the lead site for the multi-institutional clinical trial, which involved first-time prostate cancer patients diagnosed with stage I or stage II (low and intermediate risk) prostate cancer. A total of 91 patients were treated prospectively and followed for five years, with only one patient experiencing a recurrence of his cancer.

A new study -- the first trial to publish five-year results from SBRT treatment for prostate cancer -- found a 98.6 percent cure rate with SBRT, a noninvasive form of radiation treatment that.

Its current Chairman and founder is Omurbek Tekebayev, who is a former speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament. The party was registered on December 16, 1992 following a split between Tekebayev and the conservative Erkin Kyrgyzstan party. By Arslan Sabyrbekov ( issue of the CACI Analyst) Recent news about the unexpected union of Respublika and Ata-Jurt parties, both represented in parliament, has generated a wide range of speculations and has given a starting point for the parliamentary election campaign of 2015.

The findings are published in the European Journal of Cancer. Terry Martin of McKinney, Texas, -- about an hour outside Dallas -- said the fewer number of treatments was a compelling advantage when he was evaluating treatment options. 'I live 45 minutes away from UT Southwestern. The difference between being treated five times versus 44 times is enormous,' said Mr. Martin, a retired airline pilot.
