Toxicity in patients treated with permanent prostate brachytherapy using intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds versus loose seeds.
Low-dose-rate brachytherapy (BT) with permanent iodine-125 radioactive seeds is a highly effective treatment option for low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. However, optimal implantation is not always achieved due to edema or seeds loss. One way to improve seed placement is the use of stranded seeds called “intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds (IBCLS)” in an opposition to loose seeds (LS).
