## Abstract Depending on initial prognostic factors, an estimated 10%–60% of men who undergo definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer may experience a biochemical recurrence. Even though hormonal therapy is standard for metastatic recurrences, no consensus exists on optimal salvage therapy
## Abstract Emerging evidence shows that microRNAs (miR) are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, including prostate carcinoma (PCa). Little information is available regarding miR expression levels in lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer or the potential of miRs as prognostic m
## Abstract ## Purpose To prospectively evaluate the incremental value of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in addition to T2‐weighted imaging (T2WI) for predicting locally recurrent prostate cancer in patients with biochemical failure after radiation
## BACKGROUND. A reliable imaging modality is required to uncover occult soft-tissue recurrence after failure of primary prostate cancer therapy. This retrospective study was done to evaluate the ability of the 111 Indium-labeled monoclonal antibody (ProstaScint) scan in detection of prostatic bed
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The authors estimated and characterized mortality after androgen suppression therapy (AST) use in men with newly diagnosed localized and recurrent prostate cancer. ## METHODS. The study cohorts comprised 102 men who were randomized to radiation therapy (RT) and AST and
