Permanent interstitial brachytherapy with Cs-131 was well tolerated with favorable early results compared to other series. Cs-131 has multiple favorable properties, including minimal radiation exposure to treating staff, and should be considered as a therapeutic option in appropriately selected patients. A methodology for dose prescription, calculation of radioactivity required and distribution of the isotope is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
