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).
