162 CHAPTER 9 ABSTRACT Prostate cancer recurrences are common, even with twenty-first-century primary pros- tate cancer treatment modalities. The most common salvage treatment is (delayed) hormonal therapy, which is often associated with serious side-effects. Due to the risk of significant toxicity, whole-gland targeted salvage treatments remain unpopular. Con- sequently, developments in focal therapies have arisen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) is a novel treat- ment aiming for minimal toxicity in recurrent prostate cancer patients. Repeating focal treatment could, therefore, be possible in case of post-salvage recurrence. We report the case of a 77-year-old man who underwent repeat focal HDR-BT.
