Variations in International Prostate Symptom Scores, Uroflowmetric Parameters, and Prostate Volume After 125I Permanent Brachytherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

This is the first report to evaluate the chronologic changes in subjective parameters (IPSS) and objective parameters (uroflowmetry) and PV, concurrently. The changes in subjective parameters correlated with the changes in objective parameters during the first 12 months after seed implantation. The change in the PV was different after seed implantation in patients with or without neoadjuvant hormonal therapy.
