“…The clinical target volume (CTV) comprised the whole prostate gland plus 5 mm in all directions to cover possible extracapsular extensions [11], except for the posterior (rectal) margin. The posterior margin varied from 2 to 5 mm depending on the distance from the rectal wall.…”

“…However, treatment margins can vary markedly between patients with comparable intra-prostatic dose distributions [5]. Because brachytherapy dose decreases by as much as 20 Gy per millimeter at the periphery of the target volume, as many as 50% of patients with a pre-treatment prostate specific antigen (PSA) < 10 ng/mL manifest extracapsular extension (EPE), and the radial extent of EPE is usually in the range of 2-5 mm [7–9], periprostatic treatment margins accomplished by either monotherapeutic brachytherapy and/or the addition of supplemental external beam radiation therapy (XRT) are necessary to ensure geographic coverage of potential sites of EPE.…”

“…In the first study, Davis et al examined 376 prostatectomy specimens; 28% of the patients had EPE, the median radial distance of EPE was only 0.5 mm, and only 4% of the patients had EPE > 2.5 mm (33). A second cohort of men treated at the Mayo Clinic, inclusive of 404 prostatectomy specimens, was published in 2007 (36); 30% of the patients had EPE, the median radial distance of EPE was 0.6 mm; and <1% of patients had EPE beyond 5 mm.…”
