The radiation is used to kill the cancer cells in the prostate. Internal radiation therapy, known as brachytherapy, allows radiation to be delivered from inside the body using seeds that are surgically placed inside the prostate. As the seeds break down, they release radiation that kills the ...
However, performing chest CT for confirming migrations may increase the excess radiation exposure. Therefore, performing additional chest CT should be indicated in cases where adverse events occur due to the migrated seeds. In this study, seed migration to sites other than the lungs was observed in...
In the PI group, the number of implanted seeds was associated with the seed migration incidence. Neither the PI nor the PI + EBRT group showed any difference in the volume of the prostate receiving 100 % of the prescribed dose (V100 [%]) or the minimal dose received by 90 % of ...
Patients with stage II prostate cancer are curable and have a number of treatment options, including surgical removal of the cancer with radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy with brachytherapy or External Beam Radiation (EBRT) or active surveillance without immediate treatment. It is important for ...

PSA decreases slowly over time so that it is difficult to differentiate immediately after the completion of radiation the impact of radiation in the prostate using brachytherapy or external radiotherapy. At 3 months, the mean PSA values were similar between the 2 groups: 2.54 ng/mL (±1.59) in...
