A novel method of planting radioactive seeds into the prostate, for conformal therapy of prostatic cancer, using a robotic platform is described. The robotised procedure leads to a more accurate and convenient way of delivering radioactive seeds. This can result in improved clinical outcome, ...
Seed implants, also called brachytherapy, are small radioactive pellets, each about the size of a grain of rice. The seeds are inserted into the prostate through small needles during a brief outpatient procedure. External beam radiation therapy involves a series of 25 short daily outpatient treatme...
This procedure, called brachytherapy, involves making an incision under general anesthesia to implant pellets into the prostate gland that release low doses of radiation slowly over a period of months. About 40 to 150 rice-size seeds are implanted, and they lose their radioactivity over the course...

In one case, radioactive seeds intended for a man's cancerous prostate were instead implanted in the base of his penis. Another patient with stomach cancer was treated for prostate cancer. Fifty patients received radiation intended for someone else, including one brain cancer patient who received...
"The precise control over dose delivery inherent in HDR brachytherapy is not readily achievable with low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy because of several factors: movement of the radioactive seeds away from the target site, swelling of the prostate after the implant and uncertain dose delivery out...

In 2000, it was barely a blip on the radar, but by 2008 it accounted for 96 percent of all external radiation treatments for prostate cancer, according to the editorial. (Men can also have an internal form of radiation, where radioactive "seeds" are implanted in the prostate gland.) Why...
