Prostate Metabolism After the Completion of Exclusive Radiation Is More Depleted After Seeds Brachytherapy Compared to External Beam Radiation Therap…
2012
International audience; Biochemical outcome after radiation therapy requires a protracted time. PSA decreases slowly over time so that it is difficult to differentiate immediately after the completion of radiation the impact of radiation in the prostate using brachytherapy or external radiotherapy. At 3 months, the mean PSA values were similar between the 2 groups: 2.54 ng/mL (±1.59) in the EBRT group and 1.88 ng/mL (±1.14) in the PPI group (p=0.23). For Choline levels, 3-months Choline / Baseline Choline ratios were 1.13 (±0.60) after EBRT vs. 0.45 (±0.23) in the PPI group (p=0.003). Similar results were observed for Citrate levels: 3-months Citrate level / Baseline Citrate level ratios we…
Absolute volume of the rectum and AUC from rectal DVH between 25Gy and 50Gy predict acute gastrointestinal toxicity with IG-IMRT in prostate cancer
2016
International audience; Background: To determine whether dose/volume specific endpoints (DVSE) or Area under the rectal DVH curve (rAUC) better predict acute gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity in prostate cancer patients treated with IMRT in the era of daily image guidance (IG-IMRT). Methods: A set of DVSE was recorded from V25 to V75 (increments of 5Gy) (both in % and in cc) for 180 men. The rAUC was calculated for doses ranging between 25Gy and 50Gy (rAUC(25-50)). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to determine the relationship between DVSE or rAUC(25-50) and the appearance of any acute GI toxicity. Results: The rates of acute grade 1 (G1), G2 and G3 GI toxicities…
Visceral fat area as a new independent predictive factor of survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with antiangiogenic age…
2011
Abstract Purpose. A better identification of patients who are more likely to benefit from vascular endothelial growth factor–targeted therapy is warranted in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). As adipose tissue releases angiogenic factors, we determined whether parameters such as visceral fat area (VFA) were associated with outcome in these patients. Experimental Design. In 113 patients with mRCC who received antiangiogenic agents (bevacizumab, sunitinib, or sorafenib) (n = 64) or cytokines (n = 49) as first-line treatment, we used computed tomography to measure VFA and subcutaneous fat area (SFA). We evaluated associations linking body mass index (BMI), SFA, and VFA to time to progres…
EARLY CHOLINE LEVELS FROM 3-TESLA MR SPECTROSCOPY AFTER EXCLUSIVE RADIATION THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH CLINICALLY LOCALIZED PROSTATE CANCER ARE PREDICT…
2011
International audience; Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the time course response of prostate metabolism to irradiation using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at 3-month intervals and its impact on biochemical control. Methods and Materials: Between January 2008 and April 2010, 24 patients with localized prostate cancer were prospectively enrolled in the Evaluation of the Response to Irradiation with MR Spectroscopy (ERIS) trial. All the patients had been treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy with or without long-term adjuvant hormonal therapy (LTHT) and underwent 3-T MRS and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assays at baseline and every 3 months thereafter up to 12 months.…
