OUTLINE: Patients undergo standard high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Approximately 2 hours after brachytherapy, patients undergo catheter-based ultrasound hyperthermia therapy over 60 minutes. Treatment with HDR brachytherapy and hyperthermia therapy repeats within 1-3 weeks. Patients may then undergo 2 additional standard HDR brachytherapy sessions.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 1 and 3 months.
