prostate cancer brachytherapy in the last 20 years, treatment of prostate cancer research in the field is hot.
We can also called it hdr prostate cancer treatment.
Over the years of early localized prostate cancer with low-dose-rate brachytherapy , but in recent years in U.S. cancer treatment centers have gradually carried out for localized prostate cancer, high dose rate (hish-dose-rate, HDR) brachytherapy. A number of studies showed that hypofractionated high dose rate radiation, brachytherapy for prostate cancer might be more effective.
HDR brachytherapy is usually combined with external radiation therapy used in locally advanced prostate cancer cure, clinical research results were initially confirmed the efficacy of this treatment program;
In addition, a separate HDR brachytherapy can also be used for the treatment of early prostate cancer, but its efficacy still needs clinical studies further support. HDR brachytherapy technology requires specially trained doctors who can only operate in order to ensure good treatment outcomes. Prostate cancer incidence in the United States and Europe is higher, surgery, endocrine therapy and radiation treatment, is the main treatment for prostate cancer.
In fact, prostate cancer radiation therapy in the treatment of the role played by far is not the majority of clinical doctors and patients recognized.
For prostate cancer ,because of its location and the pathological specificity of lesion, most patients have progression of the disease in its very long period of time, multiple lesions confined to the prostate and pelvic region, which means there is no distant metastasis are the local and regional disease, on which a radiation therapy can play its unique role.
