Because temozolomide is associated with changes in male fertility, consider referring patients for sperm banking prior to initiating chemotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)
The schedule of radium-223 used in the ALSYMPCA trial is 5 minute infusion every 4 weeks x6 doses. Given in this fashion, it significantly improved median OS, time to SRE and time to PSA progression in men with advanced cancer of the prostate without demonstrable side effects
In RTOG 94-08 the addition of short course androgen deprivation to radiation therapy for men with intermediate risk cancer of the prostate resulted in a 50% reduction in disease specific mortality at 10-years

The incidence of post-operative delirium was 29%. Further, patients with post-operative delirium were at increased risk for readmission (OR = 10.7) and re-operation (OR = 9.2).
