Focal versus whole gland salvage brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate specific membrane antigen PET era: a narrative review.

This narrative review identified only two studies that directly compared whole versus partial gland BT salvage treatment. Neither report provided a specific comparison of recommendations for dosimetric technique or normal structure dose constraints. Therefore, this review highlights a significant gap in the existing literature and provides an important framework to guide radiation treatment (RT) recommendations for both whole gland and partial gland salvage BT in patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
