Comparative cost-effectiveness of focal and total salvage 125 I brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer after primary radiotherapy

Comparative cost-effectiveness of focal and total salvage 125 I brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer after primary radiotherapy

Purpose: Focal salvage (FS) iodine 125 ( 125 I) brachytherapy could be an effective treatment for locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa). Toxicity is often reduced compared to total salvage (TS) while cancer control can be maintained, which could increase cost-effectiveness. The current study...
