Whole prostate D90 and V100: A dose-response analysis of 2000 consecutive 125I monotherapy patients

Although D90 values of <130 Gy were predictive of an increased risk of recurrence in the non-ADT subset, neither D90 nor V100, when used as continuous variables, was predictive of DFS when applied to the entire cohort or in the subset analysis. This observation informs us that dose metrics are not equivalent to oncologic end points and must be calibrated against DFS for each physician and each institution offering LDR-PB.
