Audience Response Question: 3
For those that do not perform prostate HDR brachytherapy, what is the primary reason?
1. Takes too much time
2. Lack of training
3. Lack of shielded room to do US based
4. Lack of physics support
5. Combination of above
6. Prefer other modalities (IMRT, SBRT, LDR)

HDR Brachytherapy
• Temporary dose
• Single source driven from an afterloader
• No patient radiation precautions
• Radiation delivery takes minutes
• Must be delivered in a shielded room CT,
MRI, or US based
![Page 33: PROSTATE BRACHYTHERAPY: LDR HDR or · LDR 115 Gy I125 boost FU: Clinical visits: q6 mo –to 5 y and annually afterwards PSA and Testosterone - q6mo Morris, et al. IJROBP 2016.

General Observations (vs seeds)
• No radiation precautions
• Procedure may take longer in OR
• More compacted work – physics intensive
• Easier to do well - shorter learning curve
• Attention to detail important
• Better tolerated
• Less uropathy

Indications for Prostate HDR
• Locally Advanced Disease: Boost - ECE, SVI
• Large Prostate (>60 cc) - unable to get needles to periphery
• High IPSS - better tolerated than seeds
• Patient preference

Brachytherapy vs. EBRT
ONCOLOGIC ADVANTAGES
1. Greater RBE
2. Similar toxicity to IMRT alone
3. Improved cancer control rates

Audience Response Question: 4
Do you consider RBE in your treatment decisions for prostate cancer?
1. Somewhat (i.e. for EBRT fractionation- Hypo, SBRT)
2.Yes (i.e. comparing EBRT with brachytherapy, or boost)
3.I’d like to, but not sure about how to implement it
4.No - it’s a lot of smoke and mirrors
