Abstract:
PURPOSE:To assess the difference in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response kinetics in patients undergoing either (125)I or (103)Pd permanent prostate brachytherapy (PPB).
METHODS AND MATERIALS:Between 1997 and 1999, 333 patients underwent PPB as monotherapy. Forty-eight patients received a (125)I implant, and 285 received a (103)Pd implant. Biochemical relapse-free survival was defined by the Kattan modification of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology consensus, based on three PSA increases. In addition, the time to reach a PSA threshold of journal_name journal_title authors doi keywords: subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
