  • Alex asks medical oncologist, Mark Scholz, about the differences between all the different forms of radiation.
    0:06 How do the side effects of brachytherapy and beam radiation compare?
    1:30 How do IMRT, SBRT, and PBRT (proton beam radiation therapy) compare?
    3:37 Why does PBRT not have superior outcomes compared to IMRT and SBRT?
    4:59 Is there a preferred form of beam radiation for treating the lymph nodes or oligometastatic disease in the bones?
    7:05 Why would a patient want IMRT over SBRT considering the convenience of SBRT?

    This is excellent. I have been going round in circles about whether to do SBRT at a top hospital in Paris, giving real headaches to my radiologist by bringing up the possible of advantages of proton therapy back in the U.S instead. And he keeps telling me, look, the studies show no significant difference in the long term side effects, while acknowledging that the higher doses of radiation in SBRT can lead to moderate short term impact on urination and the rectum for up to a month or so. So, assuming this Dr. here knows what he is talking about, it is reassuring to me that he seems to be confirming what my doctor in Paris keeps telling me. I am scheduled to get this done over a two week period in late November. Here in Paris they do four sessions, two each week. And I am looking forward to getting this monkey off my back, praying that I will be one of the two out of three patients who do NOT suffer from ED afterwards.

    This video series is pure gold. Most doctors I have seen have at most 15 minutes of time to explain things and I will always have after thought questions. This video series answers questions I haven't even thought of and helps me make the decision I feel is right for me,
    Thank you so much for spending the time and energy to create and circulate these videos.

    51 years old at diagnosis
    GG2 intermediate risk 3+4, Decipher .37,
    Treated with HDR Brachytherapy in St. Louis at Sitemans
    Two treatments of 13.5 gy over two days
    PSA went from 3.8, 1.1, .6, .8. I have another PSA test
    coming up soon at the 16 month mark. Little side effects, urethra felt scratchy but went away after 6-8 months. Sexual function is normal however amount of discharge is diminished by about 85 percent. I gave a lot of thought into this and am glad I chose to go with HDR.
    God bless. Hope this helps.
    Please be sure to stay fit, cardio and weight train.

    I interviewed with a doctor today (Fred Hutch) here in Seattle who has a good reputation (status etc. and good reviews overall) who essentially said that there are not enough studies that could conclusively show which external beam radiation was best, as in least side effects and longevity. He does both Proton and SBRT/IMRT. I have a Gleason 9 (4+5) with PSMA showing localized cancer. Half these doctors when interviewing have no clue with the Tri-modal approach. That is, ADT/ Brachytherapy/External BEAM. Yet, in their notes that is usually the recommendation. His suggestion was IMRT but left the decision to me as to which one (proton or) He states (please clarify) that Proton is possibly more precise and does NOT exit unlike SBRT etc, which does exit. (goes in and leaves on the other side). I'm not sure if this is a positive or negative or if it really matters.
    Unlike the first doctor there who felt that space oar wasn't necessary, I didn't inquire with this one. I did however find his suggestion for doing IMRT BEFORE Brachytherapy unsettling! Is this common? Can this be done, or should it be done beforehand? Mind you, I'm having Brachytherapy with the best down (I'm in Seattle) there in the Bay area and these guys don't( imo) compare to Dr. Kurtzman. His suggestion is ADT/Brachytherapy/EB. The proton issue needs precise pros/cons. It's been around for close to 20yrs? It sounds from one perspective to be a good choice. Why? Well, how about precision and no exit? Any which way you look at it - they all pass through other organs which could possibly have a long-term negative outcome. What would your suggestion be for my case? I'm somewhat confused as I had an ExoDX test which showed a borderline reading (urologist stated: threshold) and a genetic test which showed ZERO for cancer as well as a DRE which was states as benign. However, I did start out with a PSA of 13+.
    I really like your style with ties! I used to wear ties like that to the office as well. Your selection however tops my former attire. I'd like to thank you and Alex deeply for lessening the serious gravity of prostate cancer. I have followed your advice much to the chagrin of my wife who is rather limited in her thinking on these matters. Typical standard old school trust the doctor and follow directions and what not. Mind you, I had a difficult time locating a urologist who would do perineal vs rectal for the biopsy AND to do a true targeted biopsy. One well known doctor here advertises targeted biopsies. False. Just a play of words. When it came down to the interview and dealing with the gatekeeper (MA) it was pathetic. He would "target the two lesions of questions but do a random biopsy as standard procedure. It's always the same line "to locate any possibly rogue cancer".
    As I said, I've read your books and have communicated with one of your team as well as review all your videos and all I can say is I'm grateful for people like you and Alex. Even Dr. Kwon is hilarious! I do feel you might have done a flip-flop with your latest Brachytherapy video related to advanced cancer with either High or low intensity. I believe your initial stance was for permanent seeds and not the high dose. So now - we have PSMA. And you have my situation. What is your suggestion, if you don't mind stating?

    Well, this is a very timely video for me personally. Probably for a LOT of people. Thank you! Question: Does LOCATION of tumor within the prostate affect recommendation for treatment (radiation vs surgery), and potential side effects? I realize that either radiation or surgery would treat the ENTIRE prostate, but suppose for example the tumor is at the apex of the urethra --- could this not increase the likelihood of long term incontinence with either treatment? Would this alter the recommended treatment?

    • @robertmonroe3678
      @robertmonroe3678 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is a very good question since the apex is a common site for PC. I would wildly guess radiation would have less of a negative impact in this regard.

      @@urzsulaz2604 HIFU High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, not radiation. No chance of it causing a secondary cancer. And it has gotten so much better they can treat just the cancer without causing all the usual side effects. Definitely investigate it, and remember doctors tend to steer people toward what they know, don’t be afraid to get multiple opinions. I hear the insurance companies like HIFU because it costs a fraction of the other treatments.
