Summary

Radiation therapy plays an important role in the management of prostate cancer. In recent years it has become evident that higher doses of radiation are required to optimize disease control. The limiting factor of escalating dose to the prostate is the surrounding normal tissue. Despite advances in escalating radiation therapy, failures still occur in 20-30% of patients most often at the site of the original primary disease. As such there is growing interest in further dose escalating to the area of primary disease burden.The aim of this work is to look at the feasibility and toxicities of an integrated focal boost to whole gland prostate treatment using high dose rate brachytherapy.

MRI assisted focal boost with HDR monotherapy

Prior to brachytherapy treatment, a multiparametric MRI will be obtained for identification of the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) and fused with the preplanning transrectal ultrasound. A total of 19 Gy will be prescribed to the prostate, organ at risk limits will be observed and up to 22.5 Gy can be delivered to the DIL
