Focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy with implantable rectum spacer for locally recurrent prostate cancer after initial low-dose-rate with grade 3 rectal toxicity.
Purpose: Locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous radiation therapy remains challenging. One of the curative options for these patients is salvage brachytherapy. There are no reports available on the use of a biodegradable rectal balloon implantation (RBI) in combination with brachytherapy in patients with recurrent prostate cancer after previous radiotherapy.
Case presentation: Here, we report on a patient with a local recurrence at five years after previous low-dose-rate brachytherapy with a prescribed dose of 145 Gray (Gy) for a low-risk prostate adenocarcinoma. The patient experienced grade 3 rectal toxicity, which was resolved at the time of local recurrence. He was treated with focal high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy of 2 fr. × 13 Gy after RBI implantation. Four years post-salvage treatment, there was no evidence of biochemical recurrence according Phoenix definition, and no gastro-intestinal or genitourinary toxicity.
Conclusions: This case describes the use of RBI implantation in combination with a focal salvage HDR in a patient with recurrent disease, with significant initial grade 3 rectal toxicity after previous irradiation. The use of a biodegradable RBI proved to be a promising solution for such a patient; however, this method needs to be further investigated.
期刊介绍:
The “Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy” is an international and multidisciplinary journal that will publish papers of original research as well as reviews of articles. Main subjects of the journal include: clinical brachytherapy, combined modality treatment, advances in radiobiology, hyperthermia and tumour biology, as well as physical aspects relevant to brachytherapy, particularly in the field of imaging, dosimetry and radiation therapy planning. Original contributions will include experimental studies of combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization and normal tissue protection, molecular radiation biology, and clinical investigations of cancer treatment in brachytherapy. Another field of interest will be the educational part of the journal.
