Objectives

  1. To determine the efficacy of permanent brachytherapy with iodine I 125 seeds in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  2. To determine the safety of this therapy in these patients.

Entry Criteria

  • Clinically and histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • No prior or concurrent surgery
  • No prior or concurrent radiotherapy
  • Prior chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and biologic therapy allowed

Patient Characteristics:

  • Not specified

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

PSA relapse-free survival

Secondary Outcome(s)

Quality of life
IPSS score

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo permanent brachytherapy seed implantation comprised of iodine I 125 into the prostate. Some patients may receive combination treatment (e.g., external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or hormone therapy in addition to brachytherapy).

Quality of life and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is assessed and compared.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
