The 30 patients with clinically and surgically localized prostatic carcinoma who were selected for treatment by a short course of preoperative irradition (1050 rad), pelvic lymphadenectomy and 125iodine implant have been followed for 1 to 4 years. Urinary irritative symptoms, which usually subsided in 6 to 9 months, occurred in half of the patients and correlated with implant volume. Total dose and total various implant parameters evaluated implant dose homogeneity has correlated wih the rate of tumor regression.
