A shorter radiation therapy schedule can be as effective as a conventional schedule for men with low-risk prostate cancer

RTOG 0415 data indicates treatment delivered over five and one-half weeks results in similar disease-free survival rates as an eight-week scheduleHypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), which is delivered in larger doses over a shorter time period than conventional RT, results in similar rates of cure and side effects compared to a longer treatment schedule for some men with low-risk prostate cancer, according to research presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s (ASTRO’s) 57th Annual Meeting. RTOG 0415 was a phase III study conducted from April 2006 to December

Androgen deprivation therapy for two years after radiation therapy improves disease-free survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer

Study analyzes 15-year follow-up of RTOG 9202A long-term follow-up of RTOG 9202 (Hanks 2004) indicates that for patients with locally advanced prostate cancer, an additional 24 months of long-term androgen deprivation (LTAD) therapy after radiation therapy (RT) plus short- term androgen deprivation (STAD) therapy improved disease-free survival (DFS) by 60 percent compared to patients who only received RT plus STAD, according to research presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s (ASTRO’s) 57th Annual Meeting.

Anti-androgen therapy and salvage RT improves overall survival for a prostate cancer recurrence after a prostatectomy

10-year follow up of RTOG 9601 also shows lower incidence of prostate cancer-related death without increase of toxicityProstate cancer patients who face recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) have better overall survival rates with a combination of salvage radiation therapy (RT) and 24 months of anti-androgen therapy (AAT) than with RT alone, according to research presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s (ASTRO’s) 57th Annual Meeting. Many men with prostate cancer who undergo RP—surgical removal of the prostate—experience recurrence, as evidenced by an

Genomic classifier appears to predict metastasis in prostate cancer patients following prostatectomy

For men with prostate cancer who have had a prostatectomy and salvage radiation therapy (SRT), analyzing their tumor genome provides clues as to whether their cancer will metastasize, therefore enabling clinicians to better personalize treatment options, according to research presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology’s (ASTRO’s) 57th Annual Meeting. Prostate cancer treatment varies based on the severity and stage of the disease, with some patients requiring prostatectomy, which is the surgical removal of the prostate. For those patients who develop elevated prostate-

European Financial Regulators Investigating Big Data

One of the key advantages for brands mining Big Data is the information it can reveal about their customers. Trends can be spotted and in many cases actions by customers can be predicted before they take place. This is particularly applicable to financial services because records of financial transactions are thorough. Financial service companies can use customer behaviour to predict the best time to offer a new product – such as a loan – or even when a customer might be struggling and about to default on financial commitments. But European regulators are pushing back, concerned that
