   Radiation therapy is commonly used in prostate cancer treatment. It may be used instead of surgery or after surgery in early-stage prostate cancer (adjuvant radiotherapy). Radiation treatments also can be combined with hormonal therapy for intermediate risk disease, when surgery or radiation therapy alone is less likely to cure the cancer.

3. Prostate brachytherapy - Wikipedia

   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 ...

   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 ...

7. Active surveillance of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_surveillance_of...

   Prostate-specific antigen based screening for prostate cancer led to earlier detection of prostate cancer (stage migration), and thus altered the course of the disease in the absence of treatment (natural history). Identifying the incidence and prevalence of prostate cancer increased with widespread prostate-specific antigen testing, as did the ...
