We used clinical and quality-of-life data previously collected at the time of diagnosis (i.e., baseline) and at the 2-year follow-up and data newly collected at 5 years after diagnosis to compare urinary, bowel, and sexual function and to examine temporal changes in those functions. Odds...
The urinary symptom score rises in the first few months after implantation and returns to within one or two points of the pre-treatment score within one year. Nine patients reported incontinence prior to treatment and 15, 12 and 10 patients reported incontinence 6, 12 and 24 months after ...
prostate allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered while limiting dose to surrounding critical organs. The data clearly shows that in well-selected patients that Prostate Seed Implantation (PSI) is an ideal treatment option that maximizes cure rates while limiting side effects. ...
Post-implantation side effects are predominantly urinary and are very common in the first weeks after treatment. Urinary symptoms are relieved by α-blockers and anti-inflammatories will help with pain and discomfort. Acute retention can occur in 10%–20% and is managed by catheterisation. Rectal...
The effects of random (drifting) errors in actual seed placement during prostate implants have been evaluated by using geometrically optimized implants of I-125 and Pd-103 seeds. Results indicate that small random deviations in the seeds placement from the preplant position may affect the planned ...

The entire procedure takes approximately 90 minutes. Most patients go home the same day. A radiation oncologist and urologist perform the procedure. Both physicians are actively involved in all aspects of the implantation, from the planning to the post-operative care. During the procedure, the uro...

In addition, patients with a large prostate gland, prior history of prostate infections or recent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may not be able to undergo the implantation procedure for brachytherapy.1,4,5Learn more about the risks and benefits of EBRT and brachytherapy....
The results are particularly good for men with low-risk disease who had only iodine-125 seed implantation. The cancer-specific survival at 10 years was 99.3%. The authors compared their results with other treatments, such as radical prostatectomy, citing SEER data. Unfortunately, that kind of co...
