Low-dose-rate brachytherapy for patients with transurethral resection before implantation in prostate cancer. Longterm results.

Objectives: We analyzed the long-term oncologic outcome for patients with prostate cancer and transurethral resection who were treated using low-dose-rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy.

Methods And Materials: From January 2001 to December 2005, 57 consecutive patients were treated with clinically localized prostate cancer. No patients received external beam radiation.
