Description

Prostate brachytherapy has evolved into a sophisticated treatment modality, used either as monotherapy or in combination with external beam radiation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. This book covers both basic and advanced techniques for prostate brachytherapy and is appropriate for the practitioner involved with permanent radioactive seed implants. Topics include: patient selection, equipment decisions, treatment planning, operative techniques, post-implant evaluation and follow-up after implant. The accompanying CD-ROM, with video clips, is an invaluable teaching tool. The text is for urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and medical physicists.
