Prostate 癌 打開 means thousands of men could 避ける 破滅的な chemotherapy

Thousands of men a year with 前進するd prostate could 避ける gruelling chemotherapy by 連合させるing 放射線療法 and hormone therapy, a 熟考する/考慮する 明らかにする/漏らすs.

的ing the 放射線療法 to the 場所/位置s where the 癌 has spread can 延期する その上の progression of the 病気 and the need for その後の 治療s, such as chemotherapy, which can have 重要な 衝撃 on a person's 質 of life, 研究員s say.

The 裁判,公判 論証するd that the 患者s' 癌 did not 進歩 for an 普通の/平均(する) of six months (6.4) and two fifths (40.1 per cent) of 患者s remained progression-解放する/自由な at 12 months.

The 研究 was led by The 王室の Marsden NHS 創立/基礎 信用 and The 学校/設ける of 癌 研究, London, and 現在のd today at The European Society for 放射線療法 and Oncology (ESTRO) 年次の congress.

The 段階 II 裁判,公判 is the first 見込みのある 裁判,公判 to 調査/捜査する the use of stereotactic 団体/死体 放射線療法 (SBRT) in 患者s with hormone-resisistant oligoprogressi ve prostate 癌.

Targeting the radiotherapy to the sites where the cancer has spread can delay further progression of the disease and the need for subsequent treatments, such as chemotherapy, which can have significant impact on a person?s quality of life, researchers say

的ing the 放射線療法 to the 場所/位置s where the 癌 has spread can 延期する その上の progression of the 病気 and the need for その後の 治療s, such as chemotherapy, which can have signifi cant 衝撃 on a person's 質 of life, 研究員s say

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.

However, findings from the 裁判,公判 明らかにする/漏らすd that it may just be some tumours that are 抵抗力のある, and if the tumours are 扱う/治療するd with 放射線療法 the 残り/休憩(する) of the 癌 will still 答える/応じる to hormone therapy.

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.

The 患者s in the 熟考する/考慮する had 前進するd prostate 癌 that was no longer 答える/応じるing to 正規の/正選手 治療.

More than 52,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year on average in the UK, making it the most common cancer in men. Around 12,000 men die every year from the disease ? the equivalent of one every 45 minutes

?More than 52,000 men are 診断するd with prostate 癌 every year on 普通の/平均(する) in the UK, making it the most ありふれた 癌 in men. Around 12,000 men die every year from the 病気 ― the 同等(の) of one every 45 minutes

They had no more than two new areas of 癌 that had appeared while they were on two types of hormone therapy, after 最初 答える/応じるing 井戸/弁護士席 to the 治療.

All the 患者s were 扱う/治療するd with five or six 治療s SBRT, which is painless and takes about 20-30 minutes for each 治療.

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.

研究員s 見積(る) around 2,000 to 3,000 men per year would 会合,会う the qualifying 基準 above.

WHAT IS PROSTATE CANCER?

How many people does it kill??

More than 11,800 men a year - or one every 45 minutes - are killed by the 病気 in Britain, compared with about 11,400 women dying of breast 癌.

It means prostate 癌 is behind only 肺 and bowel ーに関して/ーの点でs of how many people it kills in Britain.?

In t he US, the 病気 kills 26,000 men each year.

にもかかわらず this, it receives いっそう少なく than half the 研究 基金ing of breast 癌 and 治療s for the 病気 are 追跡するing at least a 10年間 behind.

How many men are 診断するd 毎年?

Every year, 上向きs of?52,300 men are 診断するd with prostate 癌 in the UK - more than 140 every day.? ?

How quickly does it develop??

Prostate 癌 usually develops slowly, so there may be no 調印するs someone has it for many years, によれば the?NHS.?

If the 癌 is at an 早期に 行う/開催する/段階 and not 原因(となる)ing symptoms, a 政策 of 'watchful waiting' or 'active 監視' may be 可決する・採択するd.?

Some 患者s can be cured if the 病気 is 扱う/治療するd in the 早期に 行う/開催する/段階s.

But if it is 診断するd at a later 行う/開催する/段階, when it has spread, then it becomes 終点 and 治療 回転するs around relieving symptoms.

Thousands of men are put off 捜し出すing a diagnosis because of the known 味方する 影響s from 治療, 含むing erectile dysfunction.

実験(する)s and 治療

実験(する)s for prostate 癌 are haphazard, with 正確な 道具s only just beginning to 現れる.?

There is no 国家の prostate 審査 programme as for years the 実験(する)s have been too 不確かの.

Doctors struggle to distinguish between 積極的な and いっそう少なく serious tumours, making it hard to decide on trea tment.

Men over 50 are 適格の for a ‘PSA’ 血 実験(する) which gives doctors a rough idea of whether a 患者 is at 危険.

But it is unreliable. 患者s who get a 肯定的な result are usually given a 生体検査 which is also not fool-proof.?

Scientists are 自信のない as to what 原因(となる)s prostate 癌, but age, obesity and a 欠如(する) of 演習 are known 危険s.?
