Incidence and dosimetric predictive factors of late rectal toxicity after low-dose-rate brachytherapy combined with volumetric modulated arc therapy in high-risk prostate cancer at a single institution: Retrospective study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of rectal toxicity and to identify the associated dosimetric predictive parameters after I-125 seed low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) combined with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and dose constraints.
