Prostate cancer with nodular bladder invasion (stage T4N1) cured by low-dose-rate brachytherapy with seminal vesicle implantation in combination with external beam radiotherapy of biologically effective dose ≥ 220 Gy: a case report

CONCLUSIONS: Along with previous outstanding data of BED ≥ 220 Gy LDR-based radiotherapy for high-risk and very high-risk prostate cancer patents, including pelvic lymph node metastasis, the present report, in which the patient was treated with BED ≥ 220 Gy of high-dose radiotherapy, LDR brachytherapy in combination with WP EBRT may be an optimal treatment for prostate cancer with nodular bladder invasion with lymph node metastasis (T4N1disease).PMID:34025741 | PMC:PMC8117715 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2021.103591
