In the present study, time-related changes in patient management were responsible for improved patient survival in the first year after transplantation during the study period. Many individual factors contributed moderately to the risk of mortality after the first year. Compared to the general population the mortality rate of renal transplant recipients was significantly higher during the whole follow-up period.

The AMC-8 system is capable of 3-D SAR control and its SAR distribution is more favourable than for the 2-D AMC-4 system. This result promises improvement in clinical tumour temperatures.

Intraoperative CBCT D90 showed a greater correlation with the day 30 dosimetry than intraoperative TRUS. Edema seemed to cause most of the systematic difference between the intraoperative and day 30 dosimetry. Seeds near the rectal wall showed the most displacement, comparing TRUS and CBCT, probably because of TRUS probe-induced prostate deformation.
