Prostate brachytherapy in men with gland volume of 100Â cc or greater: Technique, cancer control, and morbidity

This study demonstrates the feasibility of implanting patients with PV100. Very large PV does not influence bFFF. Although urinary retention rates were higher, the long-term urinary symptoms were no different between the two groups. Requirement for transurethral resection of the prostate was no higher in patients with PV100. Radiation proctitis rates were similar for both.
