Mature Results using an Automated Prostate Brachytherapy System

Abstract

As healthcare increasingly moves to value-based treatment decisions, LDR brachytherapy represents a cost effective option for the treatment of selected prostate cancers. Brachytherapy outcomes are governed by dosimetric quality. Automated prostate brachytherapy with intraoperative planning and mechanical delivery of seeds may be more amenable to widescale implementation over manual systems dependent on user expertise. This study presents the updated dosimetric and mature clinical outcomes of an automated brachytherapy program.
