Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

Teniendo en cuenta la alta frecuencia del cáncer de próstata en estadios localizados, existen actualmente técnicas mínimamente invasivas que compiten con la cirugía clásica. Una de ellas es la Braquiterapia de Baja Tasa de Dosis con implantes permanentes de semillas de Yodo-125.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es exponer nuestra experiencia desde el año 1998 en que realizamos el primer tratamiento hasta el día de hoy. Se analizan los resultados y la morbilidad de los pacientes con un seguimiento de 7 años y medio.

Material y Métodos

Un total de 800 pacientes fueron tratados con Baja Tasa de Dosis, con edad media de 68 años y rango entre 48 y 83 años. En todos los pacientes las semillas de I125 fueron utilizadas con Rapid-Strand, con técnica de carga periférica y mediante planificación intraoperatoria.

Resultados

La tasa de complicaciones urinarias fueron del 3% de RAO, y del 0,2% de incontinencia urinaria. La morbilidad sobre el aparato digestivo fue de un 12% de sangrados intermitentes, 2% de proctitis, y un 0,3% de fístulas rectales.

Abstract
Introduction and objectives

Considering the high frequency of localized prostate cancer in stages, at the moment there are minimally invasive techniques that compete with the classic surgery. One of them is the Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy with permanent implants of I125 seeds.

The objective of the present study is to expose our experience from the year 1998, when we made the first treatment, until today. The results and the morbidity of the patients over a 7 and a half years period are analyzed.

Material and methods

A total of 800 patients were treated with LDR brachytherapy, with average age of 68 years and range between 48 and 83 years. In all patients the I125 seeds were used with Rapid-Strand and peripheral load by means of intraoperative planning.

The urinary rate of complications was of 3% of AUR, and 0.2% of urinary incontinence. The morbidity on the digestive apparatus was of a 12% intermittent bleeding, 2% of proctitis, and a 0.3% of rectal fistulas
