Brachytherapy: The Royal Flush of Radiation Treatment for Men with High Risk Prostate Cancer

Описание к видео Brachytherapy: The Royal Flush of Radiation Treatment for Men with High Risk Prostate Cancer

Mira Keyes, MD, FRCPC, a Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a radiation oncologist at the Vancouver Centre of the British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA), discusses the benefits of prostate brachytherapy (PB) for men with high- and very high-risk prostate cancer. Dr. Keyes explains PB has excellent long-term outcomes (with the best cure rates of all radiation therapy [RT] treatments), requires less androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), has less downstream toxicity and lower cost than alternatives, calling it a “royal flush” treatment when used as a boost with external beam radiation therapy (EPRT).
