Issue Number 7 – RT, Part III / Updates on Side Effects / Nutrition
If you choose radiation therapy, seek out a center that offers 3-D conformal radiation therapy or IMRT even if you have to travel to do so. Currently, permanent (rather than temporary) seed implantation is supported more extensively by the published medical literature. Kegel exercises haven’t been proven to prevent post-RP urinary incontinence in men. A Mediterranean diet combined with Vitamin E and Selenium will help you slow the growth of prostate cancer.
