Brief summary
Purpose: The evaluation of efficacy of proton «hypophysectomy» in patients with locallyadvanced and disseminated prostate cancer. Material and Methods: 98 patients with disseminated prostate cancer and suffered from the pain had been irradiating on the synchrocyclotron PNPI (1000 MeV, Gatchina). The irradiation by rotating-convergent shoot-through technique had been using. The single dose of 80-100 Gy had been giving. The grade of pain syndrome had been evaluated before and after proton therapy by four-grade scale. Results: The results are evidence of high efficacy of the proton therapy as an pain relieving method: 53 (66.25%) of patients have a complete analgesia, and 22 (27,5%) have a significant pain relief. Bone metastases in 3 (3%) patients have disappeared, in 8 (8%) there was a partial regress of bone lesions and in 3 (3%) the transformation of osteolytic lesions to osteosclerotic was occur. Conclusion: Proton «hypophysectomy» is an effective method of pain relief in patients with metastatic prostate cancer without evident complications and is of great importance for palliative care of such patients.
