## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: In the current study, the effects of dose escalation for localized prostate cancer treatment with intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or permanent transperineal brachytherapy (BRT) in comparison with conventional dose 3‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D‐CRT) wer
Carcinoma of the prostate in the United States has increased dramatically in the last few years due to improved detection methods including prostatic specific antigen testing and transrectal ultrasound. More than half of all prostate cancers are discovered while still localized. Radical prostatectom
This approach is more practical than waiting for clinical development of cancer because a shorter time is needed to obtain results, particularly with relatively slow-growing tumors such as prostate cancer. However, the use of intermediate endpoints is limited by their predictive ability; this is a d
