[Hopespringpcsg] FW: [IceBalls] ProstateCancerSupport] High Dose Rate Brachytherapy - 10 years folluo-up

[Glen Tolhurst]

Hi all:
Interesting article from a US blog on High Dose Rate Brachytherapy; which it
seems has been around for quite some time.
The last sentence or two in the article highlight the reason it seems to
have not been widely adopted in the US.
Not sure if in Ontario any place other than Sunnybrook & Princess Margaret
offer it.
May be a good point to raise for discussion at the October speaker
presentation.
Take care,

Glen
