Secondary sarcoma of bone post-prostate brachytherapy: A case report

Can Urol Assoc J. 2014 May;8(5-6):E468-70. doi: 10.5489/cuaj.1876.

Abstract

Malignancies associated with brachytherapy for prostate cancer are largely unreported in the literature. We report a case of post-brachytherapy osteogenic sarcoma in the pelvis 6 years after permanent (125)I implant for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, limb-sparing surgical resection and postoperative radiation therapy for unexpected positive margins.
