Randomized patients undergo 3-month neoadjuvant therapy (NHT)within 14 days and receive 9-month adjuvant therapy (AHT) following after Iodine I-125 implantation (TPPB).
Rondomized patients undergo 3-month neoadjuvant therapy (NHT) within 14 days and receive Iodine I-125 implantation therapy (TPPB). 40 weeks observation is followed under no further treatment.
