Brachytherapy for prostate cancer
Florida Center for Prostate Care, Jacksonville, FL
Radioactive prostate seed implantation (brachytherapy) can be effectively used as monotherapy for early-stage prostate cancer. The technique is also efficacious in the salvage treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer previously treated with external radiation. In properly selected patients, up to 70% of men are rendered disease free following treatment. Long-term side effects are minimal.
