LOW-DOSE RATE BRACHYTHERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER: DIFFERENT INDICATIONS – DIFFERENT RESULTS
https://doi.org/10.17650/1726-9776-2013-9-4-47-51
Abstract
In Russia, there is presently a growing interest in low-dose intratissue radiotherapy (brachytherapy) for locally advanced prostate cancer (PC). Since its inception, current brachytherapy has undergone a number of significant changes in terms of improved visualization and better treatment planning and monitoring, which is sure to have affected the higher quality of their performance and better long-term results. The main purpose of the given paper is to generalize the data of foreign investigators who have the greatest experience with brachytherapy for its further use in the treatment of patients with locally advanced PC under the conditions of Russian clinics.
