文摘

Brachytherapy using I 125 permanent implants as monotherapy is a validated technique of treatment for localised prostate cancer with favorable prognostic factors, as external beam irradiation or surgery are. It necessitates a strict selection of the patients and a precise technique in a specialised unit. The narrow collaboration between radiation–oncologist, urologist en medical physicist is necessary along the successive steps of the selection, treatment, and follow-up of the treatment. The good carcinologic and functional 10 years results confirm the preliminary results. New indications of brachytherapy using other techniques and different combinations with external beam irradiation are investigated.
