The effect of isotope selection on the prostate-specific antigen response in patients treated with permanent prostate brachytherapy.

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

  • Improving patient-specific dosimetry for intravascular brachytherapy.

    abstract:PURPOSE:Accurate patient-specific dosimetry in intravascular brachytherapy (IVBT) is generally difficult due to the extremely high-dose gradient, complexity of treatment device, and patient-specific geometry (e.g., calcification, stent, curvature, movement of target). The purpose of this study is to analyze quantitativ...
