This very first interdisciplinary book on the subject provides a comprehensive overview of innovations in low dose rate (LDR), high dose rate (HDR), and pulsed dose rate (PDR) interstitial brachytherapy for the management of local or locally advanced prostate cancer. In addition to detailed chapters on patient selection and the use of imaging in diagnostics, treatment guidance, and implantation control, background chapters are included on related medical physics issues such as treatment planning and quality assurance. The results obtained with the different treatment options and the difficult task of salvage treatment are fully discussed. All chapters have been written by internationally recognized experts in their fields who for more than a decade have formed the teaching staff responsible for the successful GEC-ESTRO/EAU Prostate Brachytherapy Teaching Course.   This book will be invaluable in informing residents and others of the scientific background and potential of modern prostate brachytherapy. It will also prove a useful source of up-to-date information for those who specialize in prostate brachytherapy or intend to start an interstitial brachytherapy service. 606 $aRadiology 606 $aOncology 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aUrology 606 $aRadiology 606 $aOncology 606 $aNuclear Physics 606 $aUrology 615 0$aRadiology. 615 0$aOncology. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aUrology. 615 14$aRadiology. 615 24$aOncology. 615 24$aNuclear Physics. 615 24$aUrology. 676 $a616.99463 701 $aKovacs$b Gyorgy$01321651 701 $aHoskin$b Peter$0324626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438128903321 996 $aInterstitial Prostate Brachytherapy$94412223 997 $aUNINA
