Résumé

Brachytherapy can be used for the treatment of every localized prostate cancer, notably as boost for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer. With the incidence of prostate cancer increasing significantly during the next decades and brachytherapy developing, we conducted a descriptive survey to analyse the current status of prostate brachytherapy in France to see if the future demands could be met.
