- W42821175 abstract "Summary The advent of modern megavoltage radiotherapy devices such as 60CO units, linear accelerators, and betatrons has stimulated radiotherapists to explore their potential usefulness in the treatment of certain neoplasms not usually considered radiocurable. One of these is carcinoma of the prostate which because it remains reasonably localized for long periods of time within a relatively small volume of tissue represents an ideal situation for radiation therapy. During the past 13 years 308 patients with localized carcinoma of the prostate have been irradiated by means of the Stanford Medical Linear Accelerator. A tumor dose of approximately 7,500 rads homogeneously distributed within a cylindrical volume of tissue 6 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height fractionated over a period of seven weeks has been used in most cases. Survival rates of 58 % at five years and 40 % at ten years have been observed. While this technique may not replace radical prostatectomy in the patient with a well circumscribed small nodule as the treatment of choice, it does offer an alternate method of definitive treatment for patients with neoplasm too extensive for radical resection but still localized to the region of the prostate, periprostatic tissue, and seminal vesicles." @default.
