Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The analysis of dosimetric data resultant from Cs-131 permanent prostate brachytherapy in combination with external beam radiation therapy in the setting of intermediate to high risk cancer of the prostate. [5 years]
Data collected for analysis will be total therapeutic dose delivered to the prostate by the Cs-131 brachytherapy implant treatment in units of Gy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The analysis of treatment related morbidities following Cs-131 prostate brachytherapy in combination with external beam therapy for intermediate to high risk cancer of the prostate. [5 years]
Data collected for analysis will be the EPIC prostate cancer quality of life questionnaire.
- The analysis of PSA control rates following Cs-131 prostate brachytherapy in combination with external beam therapy for intermediate to high risk cancer of the prostate. [5 years]
Data collected for analysis will be PSA measurements.
