The main goal of this study is to treat patients using external beam radiotherapy followed by endorectal brachytherapy using a new applicator. Validating the feasibility of this new applicator, assessing the treatment time required when using it, the necessary workload required and ultimately avoid the need for surgery are our main priorities. Currently, this option is still experimental, although several patients have been treated with this method during the last ten years. In this pilot study, 45 patients will be recruited, whom have medical conditions (co-morbidities) that make surgery very difficult, or patients that are refusing surgery.
