Can patients with recurrent high-risk prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) be salvaged by low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy: case report describing technique and application
Abstract:Management of local relapse in prostate cancer after initial treatment is a serious issue. Many salvage options exist for patients who have local recurrence after external beam radiotherapy. Low-doserate (LDR) brachytherapy (BT) is a treatment option for patients with a recurrence of prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
