The emerging role of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy for prostate cancer
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy is a comparatively new brachytherapy procedure for prostate cancer. In addition to the intrinsic advantages of brachytherapy, including radiation dose concentration to the tumor and rapid dose fall-off at the surrounding normal tissue, HDR brachytherapy can yield a more homogeneous and conformal dose distribution through image-based decisions fo...
متن کاملA Report on the Clinical Outcome after High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy as Monotherapy in Early Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND To report the clinical outcome after a single implant, high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy in early prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS All clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy (no external beam radiotherapy) from February 2006 to September 2011 were analyzed prospectively. Acute and chronic toxicity were as...
متن کاملHigh dose rate brachytherapy as monotherapy for localised prostate cancer: a hypofractionated two-implant approach in 351 consecutive patients
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To evaluate the oncological outcome of a three-implant high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BRT) protocol as monotherapy for clinically localised prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between February 2008 and December 2012, 450 consecutive patients with clinically localised prostate cancer were treated with HDR monotherapy. The cohort comprised of 198 low-, 135 intermed...
متن کاملHigh dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
High dose rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy in the management of localised prostate cancer has practical, physical and biological advantages over low dose rate seed brachytherapy. There are no free live sources used, no risk of source loss and since the implant is a temporary procedure following discharge no issues with regard to radioprotection use of existing facilities. Adequate coverage...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
Introduction/Background Over the last 2 decades, significant technical advancements have improved the delivery of prostate brachytherapy. The transrectal ultrasound-guided implant technique is the backbone of modern prostate brachytherapy. Whether it is permanent or temporary, ie, low-dose-rate (LDR) or high-dose-rate (HDR), respectively, both use similar image-guided techniques for inserting s...
