Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective phase II study is to evaluate the toxicity of salvage partial (focal) prostate brachytherapy in patients after prior radiotherapy (standard teleradiotherapy with / without brachytherapy, hypofractionated, self-reactive HDR / LDR brachytherapy) with local recurrence on the part of the prostate gland.

Study Arms (1)
Experimental
EXPERIMENTALExperimental: All recruited participants will be treated with salvage partial (focal) prostate brachytherapy for the lesion of recurrent prostate cancer with appropriate margin.
Interventions
Radiation: focal low dose rate or high dose rate brachytherapy for the lesion with appropriate margin, defined in magnetic resonance or positron emission tomography All recruited participants will be treated with interstitial brachytherapy for local recurrence of prostate cancer. The low dose rate of brachytherapy is used with a total dose of 145 Gy in the clinical target volume for participants after hypofractionated radiotherapy, a high dose rate brachytherapy as monotherapy or boost with external beam radiotherapy The high dose rate brachytherapy with two fractions of 13 Gy in the clinical target volume with a 3 to 14 days break is used after primary low dose rate brachytherapy or external beam radiotherapy alone.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histopathologically confirmed by biopsy (fusion mapping biopsy preferred) recurrence of prostate cancer after prior radical radiotherapy (brachytherapy, external beam radiotherapy alone or with brachytherapy boost, stereotaxic radiotherapy)
- Localized tumor lesion assessed by MRI or in the case of MR contraindications with TRUS and CT
- PSA doubling time over six months
- PSA value \<10 ng / ml
- No anti-androgen treatment in the year prior
- Dysuria on the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) ≤ 20 points
- General condition according to the WHO scale ≤ 2
- Signing informed consent to participate in the study
You may not qualify if:
- PSA value\> 10ng / ml
- General condition according to the WHO scale\> 2
- Dysuria on the IPSS scale\> 20 points
- PSA doubling time \<6 months
- Inability to discontinue anticoagulants.
- An active urinary tract infection.
- Contraindications to general anesthesia
- Active inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Second active cancer or treatment with completion less than 3 years earlier, except for low-stage skin cancer
- Estimated Survival \<5 years
