Try and Improve Technology and Techniques
Research is continuing to try and improve
technology and techniques to allow radiotherapy
to the prostate gland to be more effective and to
have fewer side effects. One way is to reduce the
amount of radiation received by normal organs
(bladder, bowel etc) and this has been improving
over the last few years with better machines and
techniques such as "conformal radiotherapy" and
"IMRT".

NEW HORMONE THERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER
Some newer prostate cancer hormone treatments
have fewer side effects than older hormone based
drugs. Some are also felt to be more effective.
All the time researchers are testing to try and
find the best hormone tablets or injections for
use in prostate cancer.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT
In the past prostate cancer did not respond very
well to chemotherapy drugs. However now there are
newer drugs which are more powerful against
prostate cancer and these have started to be used
with more frequency in late prostate cancer which
has already spread to other organs and which has
become resistant to hormone treatments. The best
drug found so far is Docetaxel, a new type of
chemotherapy drug.
