Description

We started radical radiotherapy for prostatic carcinoma since October 2003 besides surgical prostatectomy. The modality of radiotherapy was high dose rate brachytherapy(HDR) with external beam radiation therapy(EBRT). Assessment of the outcomes of HDR with EBRT was compared with that of retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) by serum PSA measurement after 6 months of the treatment. Curative ratio of HDR with EBRT and RRP were 79.5% and 62%, respectively. Definitely the efficacy of radiotherapy for prostatic carcinoma was equal to that of surgical therapy.
