BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: @entity1 treated with low radiotherapy dose or treated at young age are at a risk of developing local relapse. Although data are preliminary, brachytherapy seems an attractive treatment option for recurrent @entity263 after previous radiotherapy. Therefore, the UroGEC group of the GEC-ESTRO conducted a Delphi study, to explore expert opinion on the management of salvage prostate brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For this study, a series of digital questionnaires were sent, which enabled data collection from an international group of experienced @entity1 . Consensus was defined as 80% agreement for each question. RESULTS: Eighteen experts completed all rounds of the Delphi study. After the final round consensus was reached on 17 out of 38 (45%) questions. Consensus was reached in 52% of questions about @entity1 selection, in 50% of the questions about diagnostic tests and in 22% of the questions on performing salvage prostate brachytherapy. CONCLUSIONS: The group was able to find consensus on less than half of the questions. Most consensus was reached on topics involving @entity1 selection and diagnostic tests, where @entity1 could build on their experience of daily practice. However, the way to perform the salvage treatment is less established and results in more disagreement between @entity1 .
