A Cedars-Sinai cancer study indicates improved survival following a combination of hormone therapy and pelvic lymph node treatment A combination of androgen deprivation therapy—a common hormone injection—and pelvic lymph node radiotherapy prevented prostate cancer from therapy in nearly 90% of clin
The combination therapy patient group underwent pelvic lymph node radiation and androgen deprivation treatment, as well as salvage prostate bed radiation. Over 87 percent of these patients had five-year freedom from cancer progression.
The research also demonstrates that individuals with prostate cancer who did not get pelvic lymph node radiotherapy or androgen restriction treatment had a five-year survival rate of 70%. Salvage prostate bed radiotherapy was administered to Group 1; this kind of radiation is often directed towards the prostate’s former location before it was surgically removed. The median five-year survival rate for these individuals was 71%.
“The combined treatment approach proved to be the most beneficial approach,” said Sandler, also the Ronald H. Bloom Family Chair in Cancer Therapeutics and professor of Radiation Oncology at Cedars-Sinai.
