Radiation therapy(treatment with high-energy x-rays to kill or shrink cancer cells)—There are 2 types of therapeutic approaches:external beam(radiation comes from outside the body) andbrachytherapy(internal radiation from radioactive materials placed directly into the prostate). For more information ...
From technical point of view, because brachytherapy (BT) achieves a high conformal dose distribution to the prostate while spearing organs at risk (bladder, urethra, rectum), it is presented as an attractive tool for prostate cancer [4]. BT is proposed either as monotherapy for low and interme...
HDR brachytherapy is often used in combination with external beam radiation therapy, and studies have shown that it can be effective in treating prostate cancer, with a high cure rate and low rate of side effects. Effective as a cure

This treatment also has not been shown to improve the outcome of prostate cancer. Though it may take less time than IMRT, it may have more side effects. Radioactive seeds (brachytherapy) deliver radiation to the prostate with little damage to nearby tissues. Your doctor implants the tiny ...
Once a popular prostate cancer treatment, brachytherapy has seen a sharp decline—and new research may reveal why. A study found that half of patients experienced cancer recurrence, challenging its long-term effectiveness. With evolving treatment options, it’s crucial to weigh the risks and benefit...
