Prostate Brachytherapy : Sowing the Seeds for Success & Salvage Paperback / softback
by Jonathan D. Schoenfeld, Irving D. Kaplan
Paperback / softback
Description
Increasingly routine use of prostate surface antigen (PSA)-based screening has led to the diagnosis of more patients with organ-confined prostate cancer.
These localised cancers are routinely treated with radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy or prostate brachytherapy.
Prostate brachytherapy is an appealing treatment for reasons including patient convenience, a favourable toxicity profile and cost-effectiveness.
Consequently, the utilisation of brachytherapy is increasing, both in the United States and around the world.
This book examines the increasing use of prostate brachytherapy as a treatment method, as well as the numerous reasons why this particular type of treatment is providing positive results.
