Re-implantation after insufficient primary 125-i permanent prostate brachytherapy
INTRODUCTION We describe five patients receiving a re-implantation (RI) after post-operative dosimetry of the primary 125-I permanent prostate brachytherapy (BT) for prostate cancer revealed an insufficient dose coverage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five out of 222 consecutive patients treated (from March, 2001 to August, 2012) with 125-I BT, received a RI after dosimetric verification by CT and MR...
متن کاملComparison of preplanning and intraoperative planning for I-125 prostate brachytherapy.
OBJECTIVE To compare two widely used permanent prostate brachytherapy techniques, preplanning and intraoperative planning, based on postimplant dosimetry, toxicity and biochemical outcomes. METHODS Between 2003 and 2006, 665 men with localized prostate cancer were treated with permanent interstitial implantation. The first 227 consecutive men were treated with the preplanning technique, follo...
متن کاملComparison of low and intermediate source strengths for (125)I prostate brachytherapy implants.
PURPOSE To compare the implant quality and clinical outcomes for patients treated with low and intermediate strength (125)I seeds in prostate brachytherapy implants. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective review included 390 consecutive patients treated with prostate brachytherapy from 1999 to 2006. The first 142 patients were implanted with source strengths lower than 0.415U (0.327mCi), wi...
متن کاملClinical and physical determinants for toxicity of 125-I seed prostate brachytherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To assess acute as well as long-term toxicity after permanent prostate seed implantation. To find predictive clinical or dosimetric factors for side effects in order to work out strategies for improvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS A group of 174 patients with localised prostate cancer was treated with permanent seed implantation between 1999 and 2001, either alone (140 pati...
