Research is continuing to try and improve technology and techniques to


allow radiotherapy to the prostate gland to be more effective and to have
fewer side effects. One way is to reduce the amount of radiation received
by normal organs (bladder, bowel etc) and this has been improving over
the last few years with better machines and techniques such as "conformal
radiotherapy" and "IMRT".

Some newer prostate cancer hormone treatments have fewer side


effects than older hormone based drugs. Some are also felt to be more
effective. All the time researchers are testing to try and find the best
hormone tablets or injections for use in prostate cancer.

In the past prostate cancer did not respond very well to chemotherapy drugs.
However now there are newer drugs which are more powerful against
prostate cancer and these have started to be used with more frequency in
late prostate cancer which has already spread to other organs and which has
become resistant to hormone treatments. The best drug found so far is
Docetaxel, a new type of chemotherapy drug.
