Abstract
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated a correlation between the dose assessment obtained intraoperatively and postoperatively at 3 weeks. With reliable dose data available in the operating room, our results question the need for routine postimplant dose studies. Furthermore, patients treated with RTDPB received less radioactivity per gram of the prostate with a corresponding small increase in the D90. Future analyses will assess variations in the inverse dose planning rules and the clinical correlation of patients undergoing RTDPB vs. older techniques for toxicity and biochemical outcomes.
