RECRUITINGBiochemical control experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
-Response will be determined by PSA. The Phoenix definition will be used for determining biochemical failure: a rise of 2 ng/mL or more above the PSA nadir
Time frame: Through 3 years after implant
Rate of acute toxicity experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
Time frame: From start of treatment through 90 days
Rate of late toxicity experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
Time frame: From day 91 through 3 years after implant
