Transperineal 125-iodine endocurietherapy of prostate cancer
Journal Article

· Am. J. Clin. Oncol.; (United States)
We present the improved implant technique, intraoperative and postoperative complications, local control, and survival of 67 patients with cancer of the prostate treated by means of percutaneous transperineal template permanent 125-iodine interstitial endocurietherapy (ECT). This ECT technique is a simple, easily learned, accurate and rapid procedure that can be performed without subjecting the patient to celiotomy. The use of vicryl carriers for permanent 125-iodine implantation of the prostate with the percutaneous transperineal template technique prevents seed loss and permits implantation of patients after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
