Purpose Patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer face a myriad of established
treatment options including active surveillance, radical prostatectomy, external beam …

Based on recent, important publications on the impact of brachytherapy in the management
of prostate cancer, we analysed already validated indications and the “under investigations” …

Introduction: Patients with intermediate to high risk disease (prostate specific antigen
(PSA)≥ 10, Gleason score≥ 7, or clinical stage≥ T2b) suffer from poorer long-term …

Low‐dose rate brachytherapy has become a mainstream treatment option for men
diagnosed with prostate cancer because of excellent long‐term treatment outcomes in low …

By placing radioactive sources directly into the cancer, brachytherapy allows delivery of a
highly conformal radiation dose to the prostate. Permanent seed brachytherapy is most …

Brachytherapy delivers the most conformal high dose radiotherapy possible to the prostate,
using either a low dose rate (LDR) or high dose rate (HDR) technique. It may be used either …

PURPOSE: A well-established body of literature supports the use of high-dose-rate (HDR)
brachytherapy as definitive treatment for localized prostate cancer. Most of the articles …

PURPOSE: This is a retrospective review of our experience using high-dose-rate (HDR)
brachytherapy boost for prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: During the study …

PURPOSE: To report prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse-free survival and treatment-
related toxicity outcomes after combining high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with external …

Abstract Background and Purpose High dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as a monotherapy
is an accepted treatment for localized prostate cancer, but the optimal dose and fractionation …
