Abstract
The dosimetric quantifiers described in this report did not predict for bRFS after LDRPB unless the dosimetry was very poor. This finding is not in complete agreement with those of previous reports. Possible reasons for this observation are (1) the study in underpowered, (2) inherent measurement error, (3) dosimetric quantifiers are poor surrogates of the dose received by the cancer, and (4) length of follow-up. Additional work in the area of quality assessment after LDRPB is required.
