Feasibility of amifostine administration in conjunction with high-dose rate brachytherapy.

Abstract:

:This ongoing study was initiated to determine the feasibility of administering amifostine (Ethyol, WR-2721; MedImmune, Inc, Gaithersburg, MD) with monomodal high-dose rate (mHDR) brachytherapy and to assess the tolerability and side effects of this combination. To date, 18 patients suitable for prostate implant brachytherapy (
