Again radiation therapy for prostate cancer in the spotlight. There seems to be an increased risk for developing bladder cancer and rectal cancer after radiation therapy. Keep in mind though, that it is also feasible that the risk factors for prostate cancer may also be risk factors for the other cancers. However, keep in mind that radiation is ionizing energy, which is known to cause cancer.

Due to the fact that I do cryoablation as salvage therapy for prostate cancer, I started noticing how often patients fail radiation therapy. I did not have any data, but I found it interesting that there are now presentations being given about the exact same subject, which seem to confirm my suspicions that radiation is not what it is said to be.
