Background And Purpose: To present the clinical outcomes of two series of patients treated with carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) and definitive photon radiotherapy (RT) for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (HN-ACC).
Material And Methods: The first cohort of six patients was referred from Oslo University Hospital (OUS) to Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO, Pavia, Italy) for CIRT in 2014-2017. The second cohort included 18 patients treated with definitive photon RT at OUS in 2005-2017.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate work ability (WA) after radical prostatectomy (RP) in prostate cancer survivors, in relation to post-RP urinary leakage (UL) and adjuvant or salvage pelvic radiation therapy (RT) and/or hormone therapy (HT).
Methods: Patients for this cross-sectional study were selected from two surveys on post-RP adverse effects and WA. All participated in the workforce.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study the influence of radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer on work status and working life in men 3 years after surgery.
Methods: In a prospective, questionnaire-based study on adverse effects after RP, 330 prostate cancer (PCa) patients who had been active in the workforce before RP described their work status 3 years after having surgery. We dichotomized their postoperative work status into "unchanged or increased" versus "reduced.
Background: To evaluate work status at three months after radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in relation to socio-demographics, urinary incontinence and bother, medical complications health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and surgical methods. To identify pre-RP available factors that can predict the duration of immediate post-RP sick leave.
Material And Methods: This prospective questionnaire-based study included 264 men with PCa<65 years, who were active in the work force before RP.
