traitement par curiethérapie, mais cet
évènement reste rare. Il est évalué à
0,2 % par Beyer et al. (2).
Des fistules rectales ont été décrites et
sont évaluées à 0,2 % en cas de traite-
ment isolé par curiethérapie (31). Par
contre, ce taux augmente en cas de
radiothérapie externe associée (2,9 %)
et atteint 8,8 % si la curiethérapie est
utilisée en seconde ligne après échec
d’une radiothérapie externe premiè-
re. La réalisation de biopsies rectales
antérieures semblent être un facteur
de risque émergeant dans cette série.
Enfin l’apparition d’un hématome
périnéal post-implantation est possi-
ble, mais il disparaît avec le temps et
n’entraîne en soi aucune complication
