Dosimetric endpoints were based on dose-volume histograms calculated from the CTref and the pCTs for various volumes of interest and on 3-dimensional gamma analyses. The PBM uncertainties were compared with those of the ABM and BDM. Results: The mean absolute error and mean error obtained from the PBM were 41.1 and –1.1 Hounsfield units. The PBM dose-volume histogram differences were 0.7% for prostate planning target volume V95%, 0.5% for rectum V70Gy, and 0.2% for bladder V50Gy. Compared with ABM and BDM, PBM provided significantly lower dose uncertainties for the prostate planning target volume (70-78 Gy), the rectum (8.5-29 Gy, 40-48 Gy, and 61-73 Gy), and the bladder (12-78 Gy). The PBM mean gamma pass rate (99.5%) was significantly higher than that of ABM (94.9%) or BDM (96.1%). Conclusions: The proposed PBM provides low uncertainties with dose planned on CTref. These uncertainties were smaller than those of ABM and BDM and are unlikely to be clinically significant.]]> Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:03:06 AEDT ]]> Design of drug delivery system based on stimuli-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles with core-shell structure for prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51701 Wed 21 Feb 2024 14:59:38 AEDT ]]> Increased risk of suicide in New South Wales men with prostate cancer: analysis of linked population-wide data https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32834 Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:17:36 AEDT ]]> Real-Time Image Guided Ablative Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: Results From the TROG 15.01 SPARK Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42282 Wed 16 Aug 2023 14:37:30 AEST ]]> Interplay Between Duration of Androgen Deprivation Therapy and External Beam Radiotherapy With or Without a Brachytherapy Boost for Optimal Treatment of High-risk Prostate Cancer A Patient-Level Data Analysis of 3 Cohorts https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47094 Wed 14 Dec 2022 09:37:30 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy Use and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Men with Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer in Australia and New Zealand https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40374 Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:55:36 AEDT ]]> Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography for prostate cancer: distribution of disease and implications for radiation therapy planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32516 Wed 13 Jun 2018 11:02:17 AEST ]]> A new combinatorial optimization approach for integrated feature selection using different datasets: a prostate cancer transcriptomic study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24445 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:51:11 AEST ]]> Comparing volumetric modulated arc therapy to intensity modulated radiation therapy for the treatment of early stage prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16710 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:46:26 AEST ]]> Development of magnetic resonance imaging based prostate treatment planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21638 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:44:05 AEST ]]> Validity of using multiple imputation for "unknown" stage at diagnosis in population-based cancer registry data https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30808 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:31:21 AEST ]]> Investigation on the performance of dedicated radiotherapy positioning devices for MR scanning for prostate planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28129 3.

The secondary outcomes were (1) the improvement in beam-target geometric alignment, (2) the improvement in dosimetric coverage of the prostate and avoidance of critical structures, and (3) no acute grade ≥3 genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity. Results: All 858 planned fractions were successfully delivered with MLC tracking, demonstrating the primary outcome of feasibility (P < .001). MLC tracking improved the beam-target geometric alignment from 1.4 to 0.90 mm (root-mean-square error). MLC tracking improved the dosimetric coverage of the prostate and reduced the daily variation in dose to critical structures. No acute grade ≥3 genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity was observed. Conclusions: Electromagnetic-guided MLC tracking radiation therapy for prostate cancer is feasible. The patients received improved geometric targeting and delivered dose distributions that were closer to those planned than they would have received without electromagnetic-guided MLC tracking.

(i) Parameter-adding: the EBRT DVH parameters (or the EBRT prescription dose) were added to the unregistered HDR-BT DVH parameters. (ii) Distribution-adding: the parameters were extracted after the EBRT doses were 3D-summed with the registered HDR-BT doses. Resulting differences between the parameters were investigated. Results: The D0.1cc, D1cc and D2cc from parameter-adding were 21.3% (P < 0.001), 6.3% (P < 0.001) and 3.5% (P < 0.001) smaller than those from distribution-adding. The D10cc was 2.2% (P=0.015) larger for distribution-adding. Conclusion: Distribution-adding was confounded by unsystematic inter/intra-observer rectum-contouring errors and registration accuracy near the anterior rectal wall. Consequently, clinical use of distribution-adding to assess rectal doses requires careful contour and registration evaluation.]]> Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:04:40 AEDT ]]> Adult body size, sexual history and adolescent sexual development, may predict risk of developing prostate cancer: results from the New South Wales Lifestyle and Evaluation of Risk Study (CLEAR) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33342 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:04:32 AEDT ]]> Long-term psychological and quality-of-life effects of active surveillance and watchful waiting after diagnosis of low-risk localised prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36284 Thu 27 Jan 2022 15:57:32 AEDT ]]> Relationships between rectal and perirectal doses and rectal bleeding or tenesmus in pooled voxel-based analysis of 3 randomised phase III trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46465 n=388) and CHHiP (n=241) trials onto the same exemplar and repeating the tests on each of these data sets, and on all three datasets combined. Results: Voxel-based Cox regression and permutation dose difference testing revealed regions where increased dose was correlated with gastrointestinal toxicity. Grade=2 RB was associated with posteriorly extended lateral beams that manifested high doses (> 55 Gy) in a small rectal volume adjacent to the clinical target volume. A correlation was found between grade=2 tenesmus and increased low-intermediate dose (~25 Gy) at the posterior beam region, including the posterior rectum and perirectal fat space (PRFS). Conclusions: The serial response of the rectum with respect to RB has been demonstrated in patients with posteriorly extended lateral beams. Similarly, the parallel response of the PRFS with respect to tenesmus has been demonstrated in patients treated with the posterior beam.]]> Thu 24 Nov 2022 15:46:42 AEDT ]]> Cost-effectiveness of hypofractionated versus conventional radiotherapy in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer: An ancillary study of the PROstate fractionated irradiation trial – PROFIT https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51846 Thu 21 Sep 2023 09:27:34 AEST ]]> An inter-centre statistical scale standardisation for quantitatively evaluating prostate tissue on T2-weighted MRI https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38734 Thu 21 Jul 2022 09:53:03 AEST ]]> Exercise Preserves Physical Function in Prostate Cancer Patients with Bone Metastases https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44701 Thu 20 Oct 2022 15:58:29 AEDT ]]> Assessment of the accuracy of truebeam intrafraction motion review (IMR) system for prostate treatment guidance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38728 Thu 20 Jan 2022 13:36:08 AEDT ]]> A humanized orthotopic tumor microenvironment alters the bone metastatic tropism of prostate cancer cells https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49451 null (NSG) mice to incorporate two levels of humanization; the primary tumor and TME, and the secondary metastatic bone organ. Bioluminescent imaging, histology, and immunohistochemistry were used to study metastasis of human PC-3 and LNCaP PCa cells from the prostate to tissue-engineered bone. Here we show pre-seeding scaffolds with human osteoblasts increases the human cellular and extracellular matrix content of bone constructs, compared to unseeded scaffolds. The humanized prostate TME showed a trend to decrease metastasis of PC-3 PCa cells to the tissue-engineered bone, but did not affect the metastatic potential of PCa cells to the endogenous murine bones or organs. On the other hand, the humanized TME enhanced LNCaP tumor growth and metastasis to humanized and murine bone. Together this demonstrates the importance of the TME in PCa bone tropism, although further investigations are needed to delineate specific roles of the TME components in this context.]]> Thu 18 May 2023 09:45:06 AEST ]]> Improved prostate tumour identification and delineation using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36411 Thu 17 Jun 2021 16:12:27 AEST ]]> Phase 2 multicenter study of gantry-based stereotactic radiotherapy boost for intermediate and high risk prostate cancer (PROMETHEUS) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34741 Thu 17 Feb 2022 09:29:26 AEDT ]]> Phase of care prevalence for prostate cancer in New South Wales, Australia: a population-based modelling study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30963 Thu 17 Feb 2022 09:26:28 AEDT ]]> Lipidomic profiling of extracellular vesicles derived from prostate and prostate cancer cell lines https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43246 Thu 15 Sep 2022 10:17:31 AEST ]]> Increased dose to organs in urinary tract associates with measures of genitourinary toxicity in pooled voxel-based analysis of 3 randomized phase III trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40019 n = 388) and CHHiP (up to n = 247) trials onto the same exemplar and repeating the voxel-based tests on each of these data sets. All three datasets were then combined, and the tests repeated. Results: Voxel-based Cox regression and multiple comparison permutation dose difference testing revealed regions where increased dose was correlated with genitourinary toxicity. Increased dose in the vicinity of the membranous and spongy urethra was associated with dysuria for all datasets. Haematuria was similarly correlated with increased dose at the membranous and spongy urethra, for the RADAR, CHHiP, and combined datasets. Some evidence was found for the association between incontinence and increased dose at the internal and external urethral sphincter for RADAR and the internal sphincter alone for the combined dataset. Incontinence was also strongly correlated with dose from posterior oblique beams. Patients with fields extending inferiorly and posteriorly to the CTV, adjacent to the membranous and spongy urethra, were found to experience increased frequency. Conclusions: Anatomically-localized dose-toxicity relationships were determined for late genitourinary symptoms in the urethra and urinary sphincters. Low-intermediate doses to the extraprostatic urethra were associated with risk of late dysuria and haematuria, while dose to the urinary sphincters was associated with incontinence.]]> Thu 14 Jul 2022 13:55:37 AEST ]]> Identification of biomarkers and novel targets for prostate cancer from extracellular vesicles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35516 Thu 11 Feb 2021 09:22:18 AEDT ]]> Diagnosis of transition zone prostate cancer by multiparametric MRI: added value of MR spectroscopic imaging with sLASER volume selection https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40626 Thu 11 Aug 2022 11:20:50 AEST ]]> Factors associated with the use of diet and the use of exercise for prostate cancer by long-term survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36717 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:35 AEDT ]]> External validation of a predictive model of urethral strictures for prostate patients treated with HDR Brachytherapy boost https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37248 50 = 116.7 Gy and m = 0.23; n was fixed to 0.3, based on numerical optimization of the likelihood. The calibration plot showed a good agreement between the observed toxicity and the probability predicted by the model, confirmed by bootstrapping. For the external validation, the calibration plot showed that the observed toxicity obtained with the RADAR patients was well-represented by the fitted LKB model parameters. When patients were stratified by the use of AD TD50 decreased when AD was not present. Conclusions: Lyman–Kutcher–Burman model parameters were fitted to the risk of urethral stricture and externally validated with an independent cohort, to provide guidance on urethral tolerance doses for patients treated with a HDRB boost. For patients that did not receive AD, model fitting provided a lower TD50 suggesting a protective effect on urethra toxicity.]]> Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:03 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with the use of complementary and alternative medicines for prostate cancer by long-term survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35014 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:01:40 AEDT ]]> Extracellular vesicles with altered tetraspanin CD9 and CD151 levels confer increased prostate cell motility and invasion https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33473 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:01:36 AEDT ]]> Population-Level Uptake of Moderately Hypofractionated Definitive Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49877 Thu 08 Jun 2023 15:49:36 AEST ]]> Changes in prostate cancer incidence, mortality and survival in relation to prostate specific antigen testing in New South Wales, Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51488 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:52:02 AEST ]]> Challenges and opportunities for implementing hypofractionated radiotherapy in Africa: lessons from the HypoAfrica clinical trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51485 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:51:49 AEST ]]> Association of zinc level and polymorphism in MMP-7 gene with prostate cancer in Polish population https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35067 853.0–973.9 μg/l).

DVHs of anorectum were reduced to equivalent uniform dose (EUD). The best-value of the volume parameter n was determined through numerical optimization. Association between EUD/clinical factors and the endpoints was investigated by logistic analyses. Likelihood, Brier-score and calibration were used to evaluate models. External calibration was also carried out. Results: 4% of patients (45/1122) reported mean stool frequency grade >1; grade ≥2 rectal pain was present in the TROG 03.04 RADAR population only (21/677, 3.1%): for this endpoint, the analysis was limited to this population. Analysis of DVHs highlighted the importance of mid-range doses (30-50Gy) for both endpoints. EUDs calculated with n=1 (OR=1.04) and n=0.35 (OR=1.06) were the most suitable dosimetric descriptors for stool frequency and rectal pain respectively. The final models included EUD and cardiovascular diseases (OR=1.78) for stool frequency and EUD and presence of acute gastrointestinal toxicity (OR=4.2) for rectal pain. Conclusion: Best predictors of stool frequency and rectal pain are consistent with findings previously reported for late faecal incontinence, indicating an important role in optimization of mid-range dose region to minimize these symptoms highly impacting the quality-of-life of long surviving patients.]]> Thu 03 Feb 2022 12:18:50 AEDT ]]> Measuring personal and functional changes in prostate cancer survivors: development and validation of the FADE: data from the TROG 03.04 RADAR trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32780 Thu 03 Feb 2022 12:18:11 AEDT ]]> miR-518f-5p decreases tetraspanin CD9 protein levels and differentially affects non-tumourigenic prostate and prostate cancer cell migration and adhesion https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33474 Thu 03 Feb 2022 12:18:02 AEDT ]]> Voxel-based supervised machine learning of peripheral zone prostate cancer using noncontrast multiparametric MRI https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42724 Thu 01 Sep 2022 13:18:31 AEST ]]> Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of human body fluids and in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy: potential role in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46813 Thu 01 Dec 2022 10:36:47 AEDT ]]> A population-based study of progression to metastatic prostate cancer in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21004 74 years: HR=2.73, 95% CI: 2.55-2.93), and those living in inner regional (HR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.04-1.18) or rural areas (HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.14-1.36) or more disadvantaged areas (middle tertile: HR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.16; most disadvantaged: HR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.19).

This estimate of the overall risk of developing metastatic disease in the population, and the geographical disparities identified, can inform the planning of required cancer services.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:38 AEDT ]]> Timing of androgen-deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer with a rising PSA (TROG 03.06 and VCOG PR 01-03 [TOAD]): a randomised, multicentre, non-blinded, phase 3 trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29325 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:20 AEDT ]]> Decision-making in prostate cancer – choosing active surveillance over other treatment options: a literature review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27200 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:46 AEDT ]]> Gleason score and the risk of cause-specific and all-cause mortality following radiation with or without 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy for men with unfavorable-risk prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26054 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:34 AEDT ]]> Decision-making in prostate cancer: active surveillance over other treatment options https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26639 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:57 AEDT ]]> Can supervised exercise prevent treatment toxicity in patients with prostate cancer initiating androgen-deprivation therapy: a randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26742 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:48 AEDT ]]> Dosimetry, clinical factors and medication intake influencing urinary symptoms after prostate radiotherapy: an analysis of data from the RADAR prostate radiotherapy trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22835 1 timepoints. Associations at a single timepoint were found for cerebrovascular condition, ECOG status and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug intake. Peak incidence analysis shows the impact of baseline, bowel and cerebrovascular condition and smoking status. Conclusions: The prevalence and incidence analysis provide a complementary view for urinary symptom prediction. Sustained impacts across time points were found for several factors while some associations were not repeated at different time points suggesting poorer or transient impact.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:08 AEDT ]]> Triple Surfactant Assisted Synthesis of Novel Core-Shell Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with High Surface Area for Drug Delivery for Prostate Cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48220 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:36:58 AEDT ]]> Real-time in vivo rectal wall dosimetry using MOSkin detectors during linac based stereotactic radiotherapy with rectal displacement https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43577 Skin detectors were an effective tool for measuring dose delivered to the anterior rectal wall in real time during prostate SBRT boost treatments for the purpose of both ensuring the rectal doses remain within acceptable limits during the treatment and for the verification of final rectal doses.]]> Mon 26 Sep 2022 10:27:37 AEST ]]> Intronic TP53 polymorphisms are associated with increased Δ133TP53 transcript, immune infiltration and cancer risk https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40395 TP53 SNPs in exon 4 and intron 4 on cancer risk, clinicopathological features and expression of TP53 isoforms. The intron 4 SNPs were significantly over-represented in cohorts of mixed cancers compared to three ethnically matched controls, suggesting they confer increased cancer risk. Further analysis showed that heterozygosity at rs1042522(GC) and either of the two intronic SNPs rs9895829(TC) and rs2909430(AG) confer a 2.34-5.35-fold greater risk of developing cancer. These SNP combinations were found to be associated with shorter patient survival for glioblastoma and prostate cancer. Additionally, these SNPs were associated with tumor-promoting inflammation as evidenced by high levels of infiltrating immune cells and expression of the Δ133TP53 and TP53ß transcripts. We propose that these SNP combinations allow increased expression of the Δ133p53 isoforms to promote the recruitment of immune cells that create an immunosuppressive environment leading to cancer progression.]]> Mon 25 Jul 2022 09:15:39 AEST ]]> Moderate hypofractionation for prostate cancer: A user's guide https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47485 Mon 23 Jan 2023 11:48:41 AEDT ]]> Silica-Based Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Vehicles for Prostate Cancer Treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49526 Mon 22 May 2023 08:31:22 AEST ]]> Quantifying the effect of location matching on accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging prior to prostate biopsy—A multicentre study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37435 Mon 16 Nov 2020 17:39:51 AEDT ]]> Overall survival with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 versus cabazitaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (TheraP): secondary outcomes of a randomised, open-label, phase 2 trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54742 Mon 11 Mar 2024 14:26:03 AEDT ]]> Tumour innervation and neurosignalling in prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44147 Mon 10 Oct 2022 09:17:19 AEDT ]]> A statistical, voxelised model of prostate cancer for biologically optimised radiotherapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48542 Mon 08 May 2023 15:40:54 AEST ]]> The Australian laparoscopic non robotic radical prostatectomy experience – analysis of 2943 cases (USANZ supplement) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46873 7. Overall positive surgical margins (PSM) occurred in 15.9% with pT2 PSM 9.8%, pT3a PSM 30.8% and pT3b PSM 39.2%. Mean urinary continence at 12 months was 91.4% (data available from five surgeons). Mean 12 months potency after bilateral nerve spare was 47.2% (data available from four surgeons). Biochemical recurrence occurred in 10.6% (mean follow up 17 months). Conclusion: The Australian experience of Fellowship trained surgeons performing LRP demonstrates favourable peri-operative, oncological and functional outcomes in comparison to published data for open, laparoscopic and robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. In our Australian centres, LRP remains an acceptable minimally invasive surgical treatment for prostate cancer despite the increasing use of robotic assisted surgery.]]> Mon 05 Dec 2022 09:22:03 AEDT ]]> Association between measures of treatment quality and disease progression in prostate cancer radiotherapy: An exploratory analysis from the TROG 03.04 RADAR trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42619 Mon 04 Sep 2023 13:58:46 AEST ]]> Urologists’ referral and radiation oncologists’ treatment patterns regarding high-risk prostate cancer patients receiving radiotherapy within 6 months after radical prostatectomy: A prospective cohort analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41232 P < 0.001). Conclusion: Only 30% of patients with high-risk features are referred to a radiation oncologist with the likelihood of referral being influenced by the perceived risk of cancer-recurrence as well as the urologist’s institutional/personal preference. When patients are seen by a radiation oncologist, 61% receive radiotherapy within 6 months after RP with the likelihood of receiving radiotherapy not being heavily influenced by increasing risk of recurrence. This suggests many suitable patients would receive radiotherapy if referred and seen by a radiation oncologist.]]> Fri 29 Jul 2022 13:51:38 AEST ]]> Virtual HDR Boost for Prostate Cancer: Rebooting a Classic Treatment Using Modern Tech https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52813 Fri 27 Oct 2023 17:01:02 AEDT ]]> Prevalence and associations of general practitioners' ordering of "non-symptomatic" prostate-specific antigen tests: a cross-sectional analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33266 Fri 21 Sep 2018 14:23:18 AEST ]]> Local Failure Events in Prostate Cancer Treated with Radiotherapy: A Pooled Analysis of 18 Randomized Trials from the Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials in Cancer of the Prostate Consortium (LEVIATHAN) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52683 Fri 20 Oct 2023 09:51:01 AEDT ]]> Rectal and Urethro-Vesical Subregions for Toxicity Prediction After Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: Validation of Voxel-Based Models in an Independent Population https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42286 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:23:06 AEDT ]]> Body composition, fatigue and exercise in patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42994 Fri 09 Sep 2022 14:03:28 AEST ]]> ELISA-based quantification of neurotrophic growth factors in urine from prostate cancer patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40341 Fri 08 Jul 2022 10:33:39 AEST ]]> Characterisation of the membrane composition and function of extracellular vesicles from prostate cancer cells https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35036 Fri 07 Jun 2019 13:50:48 AEST ]]> Androgen deprivation therapy use and duration with definitive radiotherapy for localised prostate cancer: an individual patient data meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49118 Fri 05 May 2023 11:46:16 AEST ]]> Time on androgen deprivation therapy and adaptations to exercise: secondary analysis from a 12-month randomized controlled trial in men with prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34907 interaction = -1.3 s, 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.6 to 0.0), whole-body lean mass (ßinteraction = 1194 g, 95% CI 234 to 2153) and ASM mass (ßinteraction = 562 g, 95% CI 49 to 1075), and approached significance for fat mass (ßinteraction = -1107 g, 95% CI -2346 to 132), with greater benefits for men previously on long-term ADT. At 6 months, the intervention effects on chair rise time -1.5 s (95% CI -2.5 to -0.5), whole-body lean mass 824 g (95% CI 8 to 1640), ASM mass 709 g (95% CI 260 to 1158), and fat mass -1377 g (95% CI -2156 to -598) were significant for men previously on long-term ADT, but not for men on short-term ADT. At 12 months, the intervention effects for men on long-term ADT remained significant for the chair rise, with improved performance (-2.0 s, 95% CI -3.0 to -1.0) and increased ASM (537 g, 95% CI 153 to 921). Time on ADT did not moderate the exercise effects on muscle strength, nor did time since ADT cessation moderate any intervention effects. Similarly, testosterone and baseline values of the outcome had negligible moderator effects. Conclusions: Men with PCa previously treated long-term with ADT respond more favourably to exercise in terms of lower body muscle performance and body composition (lean and fat mass, and ASM) than those with short-term ADT exposure. As a result, men who were formerly on long-term androgen suppression regimens should be especially prescribed exercise medicine interventions to alleviate residual treatment-related adverse effects.]]> Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:25:19 AEDT ]]>
