Abstract
For prostate cancer, the role of dose-escalation (DE) to a biologically equivalent dose (BED) of 200 Gy (at an α/β of 1.5) using conventionally fractionated external beam radiation therapy (CFRT) has been established to improve rates of freedom from biochemical failure (FFBF) vs CFRT with BEDs 200 Gy with high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) has been postulated to further improve outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine if increasing BED > 200 Gy with HDR-BT is correlated with outcomes or toxicities.
