Comparison of two treatment approaches for prostate cancer: intensity‐modulated radiation therapy combined with I125 seed‐implant brachytherapy or I125 seed‐implant brachytherapy alone
The purpose of the present study was to assess the results of two different treatment approaches for clinically localized prostate cancer: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by 125I seed-implant brachytherapy and 125I seed-implant brachytherapy alone. We studied our 30 most recent consecutive patients. The sample population consisted of 15 cases treated with IMRT (50.4 Gy) fo...
متن کاملComparison of implant quality between intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds and loose seeds in permanent prostate brachytherapy using sector analysis
We compared the implant quality of intraoperatively built custom-linked (IBCL) seeds with loose seeds in permanent prostate brachytherapy. Between June 2012 and January 2015, 64 consecutive prostate cancer patients underwent brachytherapy with IBCL seeds (n = 32) or loose seeds (n = 32). All the patients were treated with 144 Gy of brachytherapy alone. Brachytherapy was performed using a dynami...
متن کاملSalvage low-dose-rate 125I partial prostate brachytherapy after dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy
PURPOSE To report outcomes on 5 patients treated with salvage partial low-dose-rate (LDR) 125-iodine ((125)I) permanent prostate seed brachytherapy (BT) for biopsy-proven locally persistent prostate cancer, following failure of dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective review of the Fox Chase Cancer Center prostate cancer database identified five p...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Soft Tissue Sarcoma after Prostate Brachytherapy
Secondary malignancy arising following brachytherapy for prostate cancer is rare in medical literature. We present a case of post-brachytherapy soft tissue sarcoma in the pelvis approximately 7 years after 103-P permanent seed implant. The patient developed a large left pelvic mass associated with significant left leg pain. He was not a good candidate for radical surgery, chemotherapy, or re-ir...
متن کاملModern brachytherapy for treatment of prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men. An increasing number of these patients are seeking minimally invasive procedures such as transperineal interstitial permanent radioactive seed prostate brachytherapy. METHODS This paper reviews the historical perspective and the current advances in transperineal interstitial permanent radioactive seed prostate brachytherap...
متن کاملEvaluation of the dosimetric impact of loss and displacement of seeds in prostate low-dose-rate brachytherapy
PURPOSE To analyze the seed loss and displacement and their dosimetric impact in prostate low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy while utilizing the combination of loose and stranded seeds. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and seventeen prostate cancer patients have been treated with LDR brachytherapy. Loose seeds were implanted in the prostate center and stranded seeds in the periphery of the gla...
