Dosimetric Comparison of Cesium-131 and Palladium-103 for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics

November 1, 2007

Mr. Musmacher and his physician colleagues (Smithtown, NY) report that Cesium-131 delivers a more homogenous dosimetric profile than Palladium-103 while maintaining essentially equivalent gland coverage. * Compared to other isotopes commonly used in permanent seed brachytherapy for prostate cancer
