Abstract

Permanent prostate brachytherapy is recognized as a standard of care for localized prostate cancer. Although most physicians performing permanent prostate implants have more commonly utilized ultrasound-guided techniques, MRI-guided radiosurgery (MARS) has emerged as an exciting advancement in the field. Compared to ultrasound and CT, MRI can reduce the level of target volume uncertainty given its superior soft tissue delineation. In this chapter, we will focus on essential concepts pertaining to MRI-guided LDR prostate brachytherapy for the management of localized prostate cancer including proper patient selection, pretreatment planning, implanting techniques, and postimplant assessment.
