Abstract

Urethral strictures after prostate cancer radiotherapy should be diagnosed and treated in time for long-term preservation of renal function. The rate of radiogenic urethral strictures (3.4%) is equivalent to those after radical prostatectomy. Due to a high rate of recurrences, urethrotomy has a limited importance after irradiation.

Concerning the prostate dose coverage, high-activity seeds are superior in the IATP. After manual adjustment, the dose values for the prostate and the organs at risk are similar. Considering a supposedly decreased toxicity and a shorter implantation time for a lower number of seeds, we recommend high-activity seeds for experienced teams.
