| description | Introduction Salvage brachytherapy represents an effective treatment for local recurrence of prostate cancer after prior external beam radiotherapy. However, the optimal therapeutic strategies for local recurrence after salvage brachytherapy have not yet been determined. Case presentation We describe the case of a 77‐year‐old man who underwent re‐salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence after carbon ion radiotherapy and salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy. We performed re‐salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy for the recurrence with a different type of seed, which resulted in a significant reduction in the prostate‐specific antigen level. During the 35‐month follow‐up after re‐salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy, no recurrence of prostate cancer and no severe radiation‐related toxicities were observed. Conclusion Our patient was successfully treated with re‐salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence after salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy. This treatment strategy might be effective for such patients and is not associated with sexual dysfunction or severe adverse events. |
