To evaluate the efficacy and morbidity of combined 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and brachytherapy for intermediate/unfavorable risk prostate cancer. ⋯ Although the follow-up is short, the early biochemical outcome of combined 3D-CRT and brachytherapy for intermediate/unfavorable risk prostate cancer is promising. While rectal toxicity is minimal, urinary side effects are more common. Further follow-up is necessary to fully evaluate the efficacy of this combined therapeutic approach.
