We report a case of perineal recurrence of prostate cancer 6 years after low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. The most common approach to treat such perineal masses, including those occurring after prior biopsy or surgery, is local excision. We report the use of stereotactic radiotherapy with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) as a novel non-invasive, potentially curative, and patient-friendly alternative to local excision.
我们报告了1例局限性前列腺癌患者在接受低剂量率(LDR)近距离放射治疗6年后出现前列腺癌会阴部复发的病例。治疗此类会阴部肿物(包括先前活检或手术后出现的肿物)最常用的方法是局部切除。我们报告了使用容积调强弧形放疗(VMAT)的立体定向放射治疗,作为一种新型的非侵入性、潜在治愈性且对患者友好的局部切除替代方案。
