Stranded seed displacement, migration, and loss after permanent prostate brachytherapy as estimated by Day 0 fluoroscopy and 4-month postimplant pelvic x-ray

摘要

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of local displacement, distant seed migration to the chest, and seed loss after permanent prostate brachytherapy (PPB) with stranded seeds (SSs) using sequential two-dimensional fluoroscopic pelvic and chest x-rays.
