| Samenvatting | Salvage Iodine-125 brachytherapy (I-125-BT) constitutes a curative treatment approach for patients with organ-confined recurrent prostate cancer after primary radiotherapy. Currently, focal salvage (FS) instead of whole-gland or total salvage (TS) is being investigated, to reduce severe toxicity associated with cumulative radiation dose. Differences in urethral and bladder dosimetry and constraints to reduce late (> 90 days) genitourinary (GU) toxicity are presented here. |
