ESTRO/EAU/EORTC recommendations on permanent seed implantation for localized prostate cancer.

چکیده
INTRODUCTION The last few years has seen an enormous increase in interest in the role of new transrectal ultrasound and template guided techniques for brachytherapy in localised prostate cancer. In the USA there has been a dramatic rise in the number of implants performed in the last five years. A similar rapid expansion is expected in Europe and this guidance is intended to indicate to those embarking on brachytherapy the factors which may be related to successful outcomes.
