title: Brachytherapy in localized prostatic cancer: 100 years of radium.
abstract: Contemporary series of brachytherapy in localized prostate cancer show promising early results attributable to improved patient selection and technical refinements in treatment modalities. These innovations consist essentially of precise three-dimensional radioactive dose-distribution planning and source placement, thus solving the problem of possible under-dosage encountered in open brachytherapy.
