Article Synopsis
- Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is emerging as a treatment option for localized prostate cancer, but research supporting its effectiveness is still developing.
- Many clinical studies have been conducted, but there is a lack of standardization in treatment methods, target areas, and dosage limits across these studies.
- The French Genito-Urinary Group (GETUG) provides recommendations based on the existing research, acknowledging the need for more consistent evidence in SBRT for prostate cancer.
Background: Intensive surveillance in women at intermediate and high breast cancer risk is currently investigated in a French prospective, non-randomized, multicentre study. Two surveillance modalities, standard imaging-mammography ± ultrasound ('Mx')-or standard imaging with magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI'), provided according to the level of breast cancer risk, are compared on psychological distress.
Methods: A total of 1561 women were invited to complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Impact of Event Scale (IES) Intrusion and Avoidance subscales and breast cancer-risk perception items at T0 (before examination) and T2 (1 to 3 months later) and the STAI-State anxiety at T1 (just after examination).
Objective: Intensive surveillance in women at breast cancer risk is currently investigated in a French prospective, non-randomized, multicenter study, in which standard imaging--mammography±ultrasound ('Mx') and standard imaging combined with magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') are compared with regard to perception of care and examination experience.
Methods: 1561 women were invited to complete the STAI-State Anxiety Inventory and breast cancer risk perception items at baseline (T0), and MGQ (MammoGraphy Questionnaire) and MRI discomfort items within 2 days after examinations (T1).
Results: Baseline compliance was high (>91%).
