Salvage brachytherapy after external-beam irradiation for prostate cancer.
The options available for patients with recurrent prostate cancer are limited. Men who have failed external-beam irradiation as the primary treatment are rarely considered for potentially curative salvage therapy. Traditionally, only palliative treatments have been offered with hormonal intervention or simple observation. A significant percentage of these patients have only locally recurrent ca...
متن کاملBioequivalence: tried and tested
Two drug products are considered bioequivalent 'if their bio-availabilities ... are similar to such a degree that their effects, with respect to both efficacy and safety, will essentially be the same'. 1 The bioequivalence of two drug products is generally demonstrated through a clinical study in healthy volunteers, the so-called bioequivalence study. If bioequivalence is shown for two drug pro...
متن کاملSalvage low-dose-rate 125I partial prostate brachytherapy after dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy
PURPOSE To report outcomes on 5 patients treated with salvage partial low-dose-rate (LDR) 125-iodine ((125)I) permanent prostate seed brachytherapy (BT) for biopsy-proven locally persistent prostate cancer, following failure of dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective review of the Fox Chase Cancer Center prostate cancer database identified five p...
متن کاملSalvage brachytherapy in prostate local recurrence after radiation therapy: predicting factors for control and toxicity
PURPOSE To evaluate efficacy and toxicity after salvage brachytherapy (BT) in prostate local recurrence after radiation therapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 1993 and 2007, we retrospectively analyzed 56 consecutively patients (pts) undergoing salvage brachytherapy. After local biopsy-proven recurrence, pts received 145 Gy LDR-BT (37 pts, 66%) or HDR-BT (19 pts, 34%) in different dose levels...
متن کاملSalvage brachytherapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is a standard treatment for prostate cancer. Despite the development of novel radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated conformal radiotherapy, the risk of local recurrence after EBRT has not been obviated. Various local treatment options (including salvage prostatectomy, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, and high-intensity focused ultrasound [HIFU]) have b...
