Abstract
Compared to the 54 Gy/9 fractions regimen, dose-reduced regimen of 45.5Â Gy/7 fractions using HDR brachytherapy as monotherapy preliminarily showed an equivalent or lower incidence rate for acute and late toxicities without compromising the excellent PSA failure-free rate. Further studies with more patients and longer follow-up are warranted.
