About this trial

The aim of this prospective phase II study is to evaluate the toxicity of salvage partial (focal) prostate brachytherapy in patients after prior radiotherapy (standard teleradiotherapy with / without brachytherapy, hypofractionated, self-reactive HDR / LDR brachytherapy) with local recurrence on the part of the prostate gland.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histopathologically confirmed by biopsy (fusion mapping biopsy preferred) recurrence of prostate cancer after prior radical radiotherapy (brachytherapy, external beam radiotherapy alone or with brachytherapy boost, stereotaxic radiotherapy)

Localized tumor lesion assessed by MRI or in the case of MR contraindications with TRUS and CT

Exclusion of distant metastases using CT, MR, or PET imaging

PSA doubling time over six months

Disqualifiers

PSA value> 10ng / ml

General condition according to the WHO scale> 2

Dysuria on the IPSS scale> 20 points

PSA doubling time <6 months

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • brachytherapy

    Radiation

    Radiation: focal low dose rate or high dose rate brachytherapy for the lesion with appropriate margin, defined in magnetic resonance or positron emission tomography All recruited participants will be treated with interstitial brachytherapy for local recurrence of prostate cancer. The low dose rate of brachytherapy is used with a total dose of 145 Gy in the clinical target volume for participants after hypofractionated radiotherapy, a high dose rate brachytherapy as monotherapy or boost with external beam radiotherapy The high dose rate brachytherapy with two fractions of 13 Gy in the clinical target volume with a 3 to 14 days break is used after primary low dose rate brachytherapy or external beam radiotherapy alone.
