Evaluation of the effect of prostate volume change on tumor control probability in LDR brachytherapy

Evaluation of the effect of prostate volume change on tumor control probability in LDR brachytherapy

Purpose: This study evaluates low dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR) prostate plans to determine the biological effectof dose degradation due to prostate volume changes. Material and methods: In this study, 39 patients were evaluated. Pre-implant prostate volume was determinedusing ultrasound. These imag...
