Oligoprogressive 癌 occurs when 独房s from the 初めの tumour travel within the 団体/死体 to より小数の than three 場所/位置s, forming new tumours or lesions.
現在/一般に, 病気 progression after hormone therapy 治療 is taken as a 調印する that the 癌 has become 抵抗力のある to the 治療.

In the 国家の 熟考する/考慮する, which took place in 癌 centres across the UK, 研究員s 調査/捜査するd whether giving SBRT along with a type of hormone therapy, called androgen receptor 的d スパイ/執行官s, to 患者s with oligoprogressive prostate 癌 would 延期する the time it takes for their 癌 to 進歩.

81 men received SBRT and most of them (67 per cent) had one oligoprogressive lesion. The areas 扱う/治療するd were bone (59 per cent), 肺 (1 per cent), lymph node (32 per cent) and prostate (8 per cent).
At an 普通の/平均(する) of 19.2 months, 53 (65 per cent) 患者s experienced progression of their 病気; 32 (40 per cent) 進歩d within six months に引き続いて SBRT 治療.
Median progression-解放する/自由な 生き残り に引き続いて SBRT was 6.4 months and 40 per cent of men had no 証拠 of 癌 growth 12 months after 治療.
