Current research in prostate brachytherapy focuses on five key concepts covered in this review. Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate brachytherapy assisted by intraoperative treatment planning is the most advanced form of image-guided radiation delivery. Prostate brachytherapy alone for low-risk prostate cancer achieves lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadirs than intensity-modulated radiotherapy...
Prostate brachytherapy has become a popular treatment option for localized prostate cancer with over 44,000 procedures performed in 2000. Eighty-seven percent to 93% of patients who have a serum prostate-specific antigen less than 10 ng/mL, Gleason score of 6 or less, and low risk (disease stage ≤ T2a) can be expected to have an 8 to 10 year disease-free rate. The radiation dose delivered by the implants...
