DOI: 10.1016/j.brachy.2017.04.242
Abstract: PURPOSE Urethral strictures are a rare complication of prostate brachytherapy (BXT), with prior studies showing radiation dose to the bulbomembranous urethra as being associated with stricture formation. This retrospective case-control study explored clinical and dosimetric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brachy.2020.09.002
Abstract: PURPOSE High-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy uses volumetric imaging for treatment planning. Our institution transitioned from computed tomography (CT)-based planning to MRI-based planning with the hypothesis that improved visualization could reduce treatment-related toxicity. This study aimed… read more here.
