ABSTRACT

One hundred and fifty-two patients were treated with CT guided pararectal prostate seed implant (CPSI) alone or in combination with external-beam 3D conformal radiation therapy (EB3DRT) and Androgen Blockage Hormone Therapy (HT). A decrease and normalization in PSA values was seen following treatment in all groups. However, a better therapeutic response was observed in the individuals that received CPSI and EB3DRT with hormone therapy.
