Three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy: which is the "best alternative" to radical prostatectomy?
M. Roach 3rd
The choice of treatment for clinically organ-confined prostate cancer is
complicated by the fact that there are no studies demonstrating the clear
superiority of one option. As a radiation oncologist who performs both
external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, Dr. Roach provides a
fascinating and balanced perspective on how he views the selection process,
as well as how he approaches a decision.
