To report a prospective trial of lycopene supplementation in biochemically relapsed prostate cancer. A total of 36 men with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer were enrolled in a dose-escalating, Phase I-II trial of lycopene supplementation. Six consecutive cohorts of 6 patients each received daily supplementation with 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 mg/day for 1 year. The serum levels of prostate-specific...
To examine the relationship between the percentage of positive biopsies (PPBs) and freedom from biochemical recurrence (FFBR) in men treated with low-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy (LDRPB) alone. The PPBs has been associated with FFBR in men treated with radical prostatectomy and external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This report concerns 108 men treated with LDRPB alone between November...
Several prospective randomized clinical trials have demonstrated improved outcomes in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with definitive local therapy (external-beam radiotherapy or surgery). ADT is commonly combined with prostate brachytherapy (PB) to ''downsize'' the prostate gland. As PB is increasingly used, more men are being treated with a combination of ADT and...
Objectives. To determine the incidence of urinary incontinence in men with prostate cancer treated with definitive external-beam radiation therapy and to analyze the impact of various patient and treatment variables on the development of urinary incontinence.Methods. The records of all 758 men who received definitive external-beam radiation therapy at our institution between October 1986 and December...
Objectives. The present study examines whether findings from systematic biopsies add any prognostic information in men with clinical Stage T1–T2 prostate cancer treated with external beam radiation therapy alone.Methods. Seventy-two men with clinical T1–T2 prostate cancer had ultrasound-guided quadrant or sextant prostate biopsies prior to treatment with external beam radiotherapy alone between January...
Objectives. To compare the outcome of patients with T3a and T3c adenocarcinoma of the prostate and determine the utility of these substages as defined in the current American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union Against Cancer (AJCC/UICC) staging system.Methods. An analysis was performed of patients with T3 (clinical) prostate cancer treated with definitive irradiation at the Fox...
