The usefulness of external and interstitial radiotherapy in the treatment of prostatic carcinoma is well-documented. We report on our experience in 23 cases using interstitial Au-198 seed implants in combination with external radiation. The diagnostic protocol and therapeutic approach are described. Local control was achieved in 73% and the disease-free survival at 36 months was 49%. The mean follow-up was 44 months. The problems resulting from TUR and the different factors that might be responsible for the failure of local treatment are discussed. |
