Abstract
Although technically feasible, with relatively few migrating seeds and satisfactory post-implant dosimetric parameters, one-step TURP and brachytherapy was found to be poorly tolerated, with higher than usual urinary retention and urinary toxicity rates. Considering those results, our group is presently evaluating a two-step procedure, with a customized TURP followed after 4-6 months by brachytherapy.
