This is an excerpt from a marketing video produced produced by Kemp Communications for Dr. Robert Takamiya, MD, and his colleagues at Swedish Prostate Institute in Seattle.

During radiation treatment of prostate cancer, Emory is improving patient outcomes through use of the Calypso GPS system. The Calypso GPS system provides precise, real-time tracking of the prostate during radiation treatment. The prostate can move or shift slightly at any time, even during radiation treatment, which means that a tumor might not receive the correct dose of radiation. Moreover, some radiation might hit healthy organs, causing unwanted side effects. With the Calypso GPS system, radiation can be continually targeted at the prostate.

WOW.

This is the second time I’ve saw this written here. Who is spreading these lies?
“Perhaps because the complications and permanent side effects of “successful” prostate cancer treatment are so much worse than for breast cancer.”

This isn’t a man vs woman cancer thing, it’s just common sense really.
I addressed why this was totally WRONG in either a question or an answer a few months ago (with sources) but it got deleted.

Is it some sort of line that anti-feminists are using these days or does someone want to clutch at straws and attempt to answer why the above is true (when it’s not). I’d like to hear how you explain yourselves and where you’re getting your information from.
Do you think that if you just repeat something enough times people will eventually start to believe it even though there’s no evidence? Are YOU just repeating it because you heard someone else say it and it supports your “men are better than women and their illnesses deserve more undue attention than women’s because I’m bitter that women get the right amount of attention and funding for diseases” theory
wtf.. sources?
No that isn’t true. Cite the percentage.
I didn’t say the survival rate and it isn’t man vs women it’s about 2 treatments not how quickly they see a doctor for it
dude. I think it’s you who can’t read. Nobody said anything about survival rates or funding. It has nothing to do with what I’m saying regardless of how true that is or how much you want to make the point.
I quoted one of the people I was talking about. If you can’t understand it then just skip to one of jody’s to make a funny comment
I didn’t try to compare it. Someone else compared it and I’m saying that they’re wrong, and stupid for trying to compare it.
So 2 out of 5 answers are just insults. Interesting.
Really? They died of cancer? That has what to do with my question …. ?
Do you really think I am the only person in the world who has not had cancer or ever known anybody to die of cancer? Try harder. Having family members die of the cancer doesn’t mean you can’t discuss the facts of it. I am doing it so why can’t you
well THAT is obvious.

Where are your statistics that any significant amount suffer from those.

A complication of any surgery is death, so you may as well imply that most men die of the surgery if you seriously expect anyone to believe that most men who get treated for prostate cancer suffer from loss of bowel control. Half of those may as well not even be on the list.
what does that even mean? So far all people have done is attack me or talked about how non important breast cancer is. Fail.
