Development and internal validation of multivariable prediction models for biochemical failure after MRI-guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer

CONCLUSION: Two models are provided for prediction of BF in patients with radiorecurrent PCa treated with FS-HDR-BT. Based on pre- and post-salvage characteristics, we are able to identify patients with a high risk of BF. These findings can aid patient counselling for FS-HDR-BT.PMID:34278009 | PMC:PMC8261471 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctro.2021.06.005
