Leading Centers for salvage Brachytherapy and SBRT

I'm trying to find top hospitals that have an experienced RO in salvage treatments for radio-recurrent PCa. I'm close to Duke Cancer Center and they have a RO there who does salvage Brachytherapy but he's only been practicing for 5 years so I doubt he has as much experience as I'd like. My RO said I need someone who's done a lot of these. SBRT is of interest to me also but I cant current studies with 5 year results. I live in NC but don't mind travelling anywhere in the US.
Dr. Zelefsky at MSK was referenced in another forum as being very experienced in salvage brachytherapy.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Maybe this will help.

There is an American Brachytherapy Society:

https://www.americanbrachytherapy.org/

and its above website provides a good bit of information, of course, about brachytherapy.

It also lists the Society's "Members by Region":

https://www.americanbrachytherapy.org/about-abs/member-list/

(Or retrieve by clicking on about ABS and then Members LIst).

which is searchable by state.

It lists bracytherapists by name and address.

This doesn't immediately answer your questions about level of experience, etc., but should give you a list of names to begin searching for further information about them, to see who among them might meet your expectations.

Good luck!

hrpufnstuf…You may wish to contact Dr. Rahul Tendulkar at Cleveland Clinic. I’m sure he would know what work has been done regarding SBRT as a salvage option. I found him to be easy to talk to and very informative when I was diagnosed. Best wishes, Terry.

never heard of salvage brachytherapy treatment..........can anyone explain?

If you have biochemical recurrence after radiotherapy, you can often give the hot spot another big zap of radiation via brachytherapy. It can be very localized.
