This enabled them to record urinary, bowel and sexual function side effects independently. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the risk of catheterisation in relation to the pre-implant prostate volume and potential implant factors such as the number of seeds and needles and ...

Why Prostate Seed Implant? Brachytherapy for prostate cancer is also known as Prostate Seed Implantation (PSI). Brachytherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that places radiation sources or seeds directly inside the prostate allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered while limiting...
Brachytherapy:Is also referred to as “seed therapy” or a “prostate implant.” Brachytherapy involves the insertion of tiny radioactive “seeds” into the prostate. The seed implant is an outpatient procedure, performed under anesthesia. The radioactivity of the seeds slowly decays during several ...
Generally, important factors for dose administration as, for example, the actual composition of tissues and geometry particularities of the seeds used in the treatment are disregarded. In order to assess the impact of such approaches on the outcome of prostate permanent implant treatment, experimental...
Now in the Journal of Urology 2006, 175; 1353-58, comes a report of an implant of histrelin which suppresses testosterone and lutenising hormone for up to one year. Suppression for the 52 weeks was achieved in 99 per cent of cases, and the PSA scores decreased rapidly (down by a mean...

One of the main active ingredients in the seeds and fruit of milk thistle is a flavonoid complex called silymarin (Vue 2016; Abenavoli 2010; Vaknin 2008). Many studies have tested the effects of silymarin on rodents with prostate cancer and on prostate cancer cells in the laboratory. For ...
Postimplant evaluation of prostate brachytherapy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5 T has met with some difficulties due to the uncertainty associated with seed localization despite the excellent anatomical delineation this imaging modality can achieve. Seeds in vascularized regions or outside ...
