Product Description
This booklet is the first volume of the Dattoli Cancer Foundation's "Prostate Cancer Essentials for Survival" series. It is a guide for informed patients, especially those who are planning to have or have already undergone brachytherapy and/or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). As a primer, it offers the most practical and up-to-date information on these advanced radiation treatments, which are now the most utilized forms of treatment for early stage prostate cancer patients. This updated and revised edition includes the latest data on 4 Dimensional Image Guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (4D IG-IMRT). Three leading cancer care professionals specializing in state-of-the-art radiotherapy guide readers step by step through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. They also provide the current options for using advanced radiation therapy as a salvage treatment for surgical patients after recurrence.
