Standard of care for localized prostate cancer is either surgical or radiotherapeutic. While total gland ablation was intended, recent efforts of certain institutions using cryotherapy or HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) have explored the efficacy of focal therapy for select patients. Diagnostic technology has evolved and improved the ability and accuracy to identify tumor extent and location. This analysis investigates low-dose-rate (LDR) focal prostate brachytherapy PSA outcomes by demonstrating impact and thus correlation with focal target volume.
