Preview- It`s possible to observe, collectively, these high affinity, PSMA-specific radioimaging agents demonstrate significant potential for use in localizing prostate (i.e., prostata, or glandula prostatica) cancer multitude, monitoring response to therapy (i.e., therapeusis, or therapia), detecting prostate cancer recurrence (i.e., relapse) following surgery, and selecting patients for subsequent PSMA-targeted chemotherapy. Therapy, treatment. Recurrence, cancer that has recurred (come back), usually after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. The cancer may come back to the same place as the original (primary) tumor (i.e., neoplasm) or to another place in the body. Also called recurrent cancer. Affinity is in chemistry and biology, the strength of the attaction between two substances, such as two chemicals, or an antigen and an antibody. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. Prostate cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland (i.e., glandula) in the male (i.e., masculine) reproductive system (i.e., genital system) found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in older men. Significant is in statistics, describes a mathematical measure of difference between groups. The difference is said to be significant if it is greater than what might be expected to happen by chance alone. Also called statistically significant. Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube (i.e., tuba) that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen (i.e., seed, or seminal fluid). Response is in medicine, an improvement related to treatment. Surgery is a procedure to remove or repair a part of the body or to find out whether disease is present. An operation.
- It`s possible to presume that, the patients included in the study have prostate cancer that can be seen by computerized tomography cat scan, or CT (Computerized Tomographic (scanners) (CT)) scan, so that it can easily be determined how well the radioimaging agent is reaching the cancerous tissue. Computerized tomography is a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body taken from different angles. The pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called CAT scan, computed tomography scan, computerized axial tomography scan, and CT scan. Tissue is a group or layer (i.e., panniculus) of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Tomography is a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.
- It`s possible to conclude that, there is currently only one radioimaging agent for prostate cancer approved by the Nutrient and Drug Administration (FDA). Administration is in medicine, the act of giving a treatment, such as a drug, to a patient. It can also refer to the way it is given, the dose, or how often it is given.
