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...
For this treatment, a surgeon places radioactive pellets (also called “seeds”) about the size of a grain of rice directly into your prostate. They use imaging tests to help them place the pellets correctly, and computer programs to figure out the exact dose of radiation you need. In ...
Temporary ImplantsPermanent implants release small amounts of radiation over a period of several monthsExamples include low-dose-rate prostate implants (“seeds”),Patients receiving permanent implants may be minimally radioactive a 28、nd should temporarily avoid close contact with children or pregnant ...
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...
[1] Prostate radiotherapy can be delivered by brachytherapy or external beam therapy. In external beam therapy, a beam delivers radiation to the whole pelvis, with a boost to the prostate. In brachytherapy, interstitial radiation is delivered by implanted seeds containing a radioisotope (iodine-131...
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...
