Aim:
To develop a population-based statistical model in order to find a spatial pattern of dose distribution which is related to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation for prostate cancer.
Patients And Methods:
A total of 75 patients underwent 125I seed implantation for prostate cancer. Principal component analysis was applied to the standardized dose array and for each patient dose distribution was uniquely characterized by a combination of weighted eigenvectors. The correlation between eigenvectors and the severity of LUTS was investigated with linear regression analysis.
Results:
Eight eigenvectors were identified as being significantly associated with the severity of LUTS (p<0.05). Multivariate regression model identified that intraprostatic parameters, which were positively associated with the severity of LUTS, were distributed around a portion of the urethral base and a peripheral region of the prostate.
Conclusion:
We established a population-based statistical model that may indicate a significant dose pattern associated with the severity of radiation toxicity.
