Summary
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fiducial placement is a safe new method for prostate cancer radiation therapy. This technique accurately targets tumors, minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues and showing minimal side effects.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
- Radiation Therapy
Background:
- Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) requires accurate tumor localization using fiducials.
- Traditional prostate fiducial placement is invasive and performed by urologists or radiation oncologists.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a tool for minimally invasive procedures in various organs.

The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
