2. Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_(68Ga)_gozetotide

   Gallium (68 Ga) gozetotide is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. [8] [9] [10] Ga 68 PSMA-11 injections are used for PET imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in males with ...

3. Prostate brachytherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_brachytherapy

   LDR prostate brachytherapy (seed or line source implantation) is a proven treatment for low to high risk localized prostate cancer (when the cancer is contained within the prostate). [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Under a general anaesthetic, the radioactive seeds are injected through fine needles directly into the prostate , so that the radiotherapy can destroy ...

4. Management of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_prostate_cancer

   For men over 64 with prostate cancer limited to the pelvis, using fewer, larger doses of radiation (hypofractionation) results in similar overall survival rates. [28] The risk of dying from prostate cancer or having acute bladder side effects may be similar to that of longer radiation treatment. [28]

5. Piflufolastat (18F) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piflufolastat_(18F)

   Trial 2 included participants who were treated for prostate cancer before, but there was suspicion that the cancer was spreading because of rising prostate-specific antigen. [7] Participants in trial 2 and the recently diagnosed participants in trial 1 were studied for effectiveness of piflufolastat ( 18 F), and all participants were studied ...

   Body sites in which brachytherapy can be used to treat cancer. Brachytherapy is commonly used to treat cancers of the cervix, prostate, breast, and skin. [1]Brachytherapy can also be used in the treatment of tumours of the brain, eye, head and neck region (lip, floor of mouth, tongue, nasopharynx and oropharynx), [10] respiratory tract (trachea and bronchi), digestive tract (oesophagus, gall ...

7. Radiopharmaceutical - Wikipedia

   It is used both to destroy thyroid and thyroid cancer tissues (via beta radiation, which is short-range), and also other neuroendocrine tissues when used in MIBG. It can also be seen by a gamma camera , and can serve as a diagnostic imaging tracer, when treatment is also being attempted at the same time.

8. Iodine-125 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-125

   Iodine-125 (125 I) is a radioisotope of iodine which has uses in biological assays, nuclear medicine imaging and in radiation therapy as brachytherapy to treat a number of conditions, including prostate cancer, uveal melanomas, and brain tumors. It is the second longest-lived radioisotope of iodine, after iodine-129.

9. Theranostics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theranostics

   [2] [3] [4] In other words, theranostics combines radionuclide imaging and radiation therapy which targets specific biological pathways. Technologies used for theranostic imaging include radiotracers, contrast agents, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. [3] [5] It has been used to treat thyroid cancer and ...
