Temporary prostate brachytherapy, in combination with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), is an established and evolving treatment technique for non-metastatic, intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients with localized intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer treated with combined EBRT and high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost (HDR-BT) at a single centre.
