Stereotactic body radiation therapy significantly improved quality of life outcomes, including urinary incontinence and sexual function, for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer compared with prostatectomy.
Data from the phase 3 randomized PACE-A trial, presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting, showed use of urinary pads to be 40% lower in patients who received five-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with no differences in biochemical/clinical failure between arms.
“We’ve got enough evidence now to say SBRT is a standard of care

Many healthcare professionals do not attribute symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes or sleep disruptions to menopause, leading to a missed opportunity for proper treatment in midlife women, according to a speaker.
Jila Senemar, MD, FACOG, founder and chief medical officer of JilaMD, said healthcare professionals sometimes tend to be dismissive of menopause symptoms in women, despite the availability of therapies that may benefit that patient population. During a talk at the Women in Medicine Summit, Senemar discussed ways healthcare professionals can close the gap on menopause awareness in
