Background: HDR afterloading brachytherapy (HDRBT) for prostate cancer is now
established as an effective technique to achieve dose escalation in the radical treatment of …

BACKGROUND For people with localised prostate cancer, active treatments are effective but
have significant side effects. Minimally invasive treatments that destroy (or ablate) either the …

BACKGROUND: A randomised phase-III trial compared external beam radiotherapy (EBRT)
alone with EBRT combined with high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost (HDR-BTb) in localised …

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 …

Background and purpose A randomised phase-III trial compared external beam
radiotherapy (EBRT) alone with EBRT combined with high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost …

BACKGROUND: Higher radiation dose levels have been shown to be associated with
improved tumor-control outcomes in localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients. OBJECTIVE …

High dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy involves delivery of a high dose of radiation to the
cancer with great sparing of surrounding organs at risk. Prostate cancer is thought to be …

Brachytherapy has become an essential pillar in all-stages of localized prostate cancer,
where dose escalation has been demonstrated to improve outcome. HDR brachytherapy …

Purpose To review outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer treated with combined modality
radiation therapy (CMRT) utilizing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with a …

Purpose Only retrospective data are available for low-dose-rate (LDR) salvage prostate
brachytherapy for local recurrence after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). The …
