Prostate brachytherapy is increasingly used for localized prostate cancer, with medium-term data suggesting tumor control comparable to surgery. This review highlights its potential advantages over conventional treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Prostate brachytherapy is gaining popularity for localized prostate cancer treatment, particularly in the USA.
  • Medium-term follow-up data from multiple centers indicate comparable tumor control rates to surgical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review outcomes from various prostate brachytherapy series.
  • To outline the potential advantages of brachytherapy compared to conventional treatments for localized prostate cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of prostate brachytherapy studies.
  • Analysis of medium-term follow-up data on tumor control.
  • Comparison with surgical and other conventional treatments.

Main Results:
