Focal MRI-Guided Salvage High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy in Patients With Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer
INTRODUCTION Whole-gland salvage treatment of radiorecurrent prostate cancer has a high rate of severe toxicity. The standard of care in case of a biochemical recurrence is androgen deprivation treatment, which is associated with morbidity and negative effects on quality of life. A salvage treatment with acceptable toxicity might postpone the start of androgen deprivation treatment, might have ...
متن کاملSecond salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer
PURPOSE Salvage treatments for localized radiorecurrent prostate cancer can be performed safely when a focal and image guided approach is used. Due to the low toxicity, the opportunity exists to investigate a second salvage treatment when a second locally recurrent prostate cancer occurs. Here, we describe a second salvage treatment procedure of 4 patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four patients ...
متن کاملVital role of volume and number of needles in HDR brachytherapy (HDR-BT) of prostate cancer
PURPOSE The quality of HDR-BT of prostate cancer depends on operator skills, anatomy, prostate volume and relation to surrounding tissues as well as previous diseases and treatments of a patient. There is a rare data available concerning the minimum number of needles and its influence on dose distribution, side effects and long-term outcome. The study is to determine the minimal prostate volume...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملSingle fraction multimodal image guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer
PURPOSE We present a novel method for treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) following radiation therapy: focal, multimodal image guided high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We treated two patients with recurrent PCa after primary (#1) or adjuvant (#2) external beam radiation therapy. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), choline, positron emiss...
