Impact of Prostate Volume as a Predictor of Urinary Incontinence Following Radioactive Seed Implantation for Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Baseline prostate volume has been implicated as a predictor of urinary function recovery following radical prostatectomy. We examined whether or not prostate volume by intraoperative transrectal ultrasound could similarly predict for urinary function following definitive radiation therapy for prostate adenocarcinoma.
