ESTRO Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer 2018

INTRAPROSTATIC FAILURE:

BRACHYTHERAPY AS AN OPTION

Prostate brachytherapy is increasingly common modality for the primary treatment in prostate cancer

Compared with EBRT, it is possible to administer a high radiation dose to a tightly confined volume

Thus, it may be possible to use this modality to provide a second opportunity for tumour control in the patient with locally recurrent prostate cancer after EBRT
