High Dose Rate Iridium-192 Brachytherapy as a Component of Radical Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Localised Prostate Cancer

These results suggest that the combined modality of conformal HDR brachytherapy and EBRT is a feasible treatment modality with acceptable acute and late toxicities, comparable with those of EBRT alone. It offers an attractive conformal treatment modality with the potential of further dose escalation in the treatment of localised prostate cancer.
