In observance of prostate awarness month we will replay our podcast on prostate cancer.

Radiation oncologists Dr. Christian Okoye and Dr. Anesa Ahamad discuss prostate cancer radiation therapy, covering consultation, PSA testing, and staging. Options include active surveillance, surgery, external beam radiation, brachytherapy, and SBRT—often delivered in just five sessions with cure rates rivaling surgery. High-risk patients add hormone therapy. MRI planning, rectal spacers, and molecular testing refine treatment for the best outcomes.

Three radiation oncologists, Malcolm Mattes, MD, Rutgers Cancer Institute; Debra Yeboa, MD, MD Anderson Cancer Center; and Joseph Bovi, MD, ThedaCare Regional Cancer Center, discuss how radiation therapy is used to treat gliomas, the cancerous brain tumors that arise from glial cells. They walk through diagnosis and grading, the roles of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, and how ASTRO wrote its new treatment guidelines. The conversation also covers treatment planning, side effects and the innovations shaping the future of glioma care.

This podcast will provide a broad overview of the use of radiation therapy to treat gastric (stomach) cancer, highlighting ASTRO’s recently published guidelines on this topic. We will cover logistics of radiation therapy, how radiation is integrated with other gastric cancer treatment modalities, different radiation techniques, and side effects of treatment.
