Abstract

During high dose-rate brachytherapy boost in 20 patients the use of a prostate-water-rectal-displacement-kit contributed to an increase in the distance between the prostate and the rectum, however, the prostate was not totally immobilized by the needles, implying the necessity for an very careful on-line dose-planning dosimetry.
