Urinary function, sexual function and quality of life after prostate low-dose-rate brachytherapy: a retrospective analysis

Abstract

LDR brachytherapy is a well-tolerated treatment for localized prostate cancer. While many patients experience acute side effects that subside relatively quickly, there is a small risk of prolonged side effects. This risk should be thoroughly discussed with patients when making treatment decisions.
