Conformal High Dose Rate Brachytherapy Improves Biochemical Control And Cause Specific Survival in Patients With Prostate Cancer And Poor Prognostic Factors

Abstract

For patients with poor prognostic factors external beam radiation therapy with conformal high dose rate brachytherapy boost improved biochemical control, resulting in a high cause specific survival rate with low toxicity. Another important advantage is that the patient is not radioactive after the high dose rate implant.
