Infections after fiducial marker implantation for prostate radiotherapy: are we underestimating the risks?
BACKGROUND: The use of gold fiducial markers (FM) for prostate image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is standard practice. Published literature suggests low rates of serious infection following this procedure of 0-1.3%, but this may be an underestimate. We aim to report on the infection incidence and sev...
