Abstract:Purpose: Variations in dosimetric outcomes among patients treated with low-dose-rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer exist, even when implants are within dose constraints. Here, we used control charts to investigate reasons for intra-patient dosimetric variability.Material and methods: Univariate and multivariate control charts for prostate V 100 (percentage of prostate volume that received 100% of prescribed radiation dose), D 90 (radiation dose to 90% of prostate volume), and RV 100 (rectal wall volume tha… Show more
