Abstract
Low dose brachytherapy (LBT) is an accepted multidisciplinary curative treatment of localised prostate carcinoma. Biochemical response is monitored by measuring PSA value after implantation. When PSA rises, biochemical failure is feared, however an innocent PSA bounce is hoped for. We examined possible factors predicting a PSA bounce and also the relation to urological or gastrointestinal complications after LBT, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) and physical and mental quality of life (QoL).
