✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND. An increase in the proportion of prostate carcinomas diagnosed at early, potentially curable stages has led to several changes in treatment of patients with this disease. Greater use of radical prostatectomy and external beam radiation has been documented, and recent data suggest that the use of radiation implant (brachytherapy) also has increased. Recent results from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) are available to explore this trend in greater detail.

METHODS.

Data provided by 1758 hospital cancer registries for 435,264 patients diagnosed between 1992 and 1996 were studied. Reported use of brachytherapy was analyzed by year of diagnosis, region, patient age at diagnosis, and tumor grade.
