Time to PSA rise differentiates the PSA bounce after HDR and LDR brachytherapy of prostate cancer.

Conclusions: HDR-BT and LDR-BT for low and intermediate risk prostate cancer had similar PB rate. The PB occurred earlier after HDR-BT than after LDR-BT. ADT and higher Gleason score decreased, and higher PSA nadir and longer time to PSA nadir increased the risk of PB after HDR-BT. PMID: 29619050 [PubMed]
