Abstract

Purpose: Prostate adenocarcinoma is effectively treated with low dose rate brachytherapy. Acute and chronic urinary toxicity is the most common side effect associated with prostate brachytherapy (PB). Techniques to reduce this toxicity while maintaining efficacy of cancer control would certainly be beneficial. We plan our PB to intentionally limit dose to the bladder neck, as we have previously reported bladder neck dose to be the only correlative to acute and chronic urinary toxicity.
