概括
外部辐射疗法与胸膜疗法增强 (EBRT-BT) 改善了前列腺癌患者的治疗结果,但仍然未得到充分利用. 这项研究分析了国家趋势,发现EBRT-BT使用的适度增加,特别是在高风险的情况下.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 辐射瘤学 辐射瘤学
- 尿道瘤学 尿道瘤学
背景情况:
- 外部光束辐射疗法与胸膜疗法增强 (EBRT-BT) 已被证明可以提高中期和高风险前列腺癌中无生物化学进展的存活率.
- 尽管有强有力的证据,但EBRT-BT在常规实践中的临床采用尚未得到充分理解.
- ASCENDE-RT试验提供了支持EBRT-BT的高级证据,促使对其试验后利用趋势进行评估.

- 在前列腺癌治疗中,尽管有强有力的证据和指导方针建议,但胸膜疗法提升仍然未得到充分利用.
- 关于EBRT-BT,既有证据和当前的临床实践之间存在重大差异.
- 需要制定战略来改善EBRT-BT在临床环境中的获取和适当使用.

Cancer Survival Analysis
630
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Targeted Cancer Therapies
8.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
