A total of 96 patients were treated for localized carcinoma of the prostate using combined Iodine-125 ({sup 125}I) implantation and external beam radiotherapy. The implant was tailored to deliver 10,000 rad to the periphery of the prostate. A significant incidence of serious late rectal complications was observed. Positive pelvic nodes were found in 28 percent of the patients. Disease-free survival at seven years was 76 percent for those with negative nodes and 46 percent for patients with positive nodes.
