Prospective Phase 2 Trial: Long-term results of a salvage brachytherapy combined with interstitial hyperthermia as Re-Irradiation for locally recurrent prostate Carcinoma
Salvage brachytherapy with interstitial hyperthermia in local recurrent, previously irradiated, prostate cancer is effective with very low late toxicity. Since there are no meaningful randomized comparative studies available, it remains unclear whether the additional use of interstitial hyperthermia can further improve the effectiveness of salvage brachytherapy alone.
