Prostate cancer manipulator

The major initial treatment modality for advanced prostate cancer is androgen ablation (e.g., orchiectomy or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonists with or without antiandrogens). After disease progression, secondary hormonal manipulations, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and supportive care are used. [Pg.727]

This chapter presents a binary manipulator for MRI guided prostate cancer biopsies and brachytherapies using a transperineal approach (Figure 22.2). The problem of prostate cancer detection and treatment is exposed along with a review of alternative approaches. The proposed manipulator concept is presented and an analytical model of its performance is developed. Model predictions are compared with experimental data. Results show that... [Pg.412]
