Hormonal Therapy and Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer
1Department of Medical Oncology, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Rome, Italy.
Abstract:
Adjuvant hormonal therapy with radiation may improve local control or survival in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer, as shown by EORTC 22863 and RTOG 85-31. Another trial, RTOG 86-10, showed better local control with adjuvant hormonal therapy and radiation but no difference in survival from patients receiving radiation alone. There are many unanswered questions concerning the optimal timing of androgen ablation and radiation, the duration and type of androgen ablation, and the population of patients who will obtain the greatest benefit.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
