Low-dose rate brachytherapy has become a mainstream treatment option for men diagnosed with prostate cancer because of excellent long-term treatment outcomes in low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients. Largely due to patient lead advocacy for minimally invasive treatment options, high-quality prost...

In brachytherapy, tiny radioactive pellets about the size of a grain of rice are inserted into the prostate. Both methods can impair erectile function. Fatigue, urinary problems, and diarrhea are other possible side effects. There are some centers that provide proton therapy (a form of radiation...
UK's largest Centre for Prostate Brachytherapy with +2000 successful treatments for prostate cancer without the need for radical surgery
Brachytherapy (internal or implanted radiation) is a variation of radiation therapy in which a small radioactive pellet is implanted into the prostate. An imaging technique, such as transurethral ultrasound (TRUS), CT, or MRI, is used to accurately place the radioactive pellets. This provides rad...
Result The OS of patients who underwent brachytherapy was 94.1%. The BRFS was 95.2%, 95.8% and 89.1%, respectively. The DSS was 100%, 97.2% and 98.2%, respectively. The adverse events identified were generally well tolerated. Conclusion The success rate of brachytherapy in clinically localized...
Finally, the advantage of using the combination brachytherapy plus EBRT over the latter alone has not been demonstrated (Preisser et al., 2020), remaining a controversial topic. It should also be considered that the use of the combination may cause increased rectal complications overall (Peschel ...
