Radioactive seed implants are a form ofradiation therapyforprostate cancer. Brachytherapy, or internal radiation therapy, are also terms used to describe this procedure. There are two types ofprostatebrachytherapy: permanent and temporary. Compared toexternal radiation, which requires five to eight weeks...
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death after lung cancer. The use of radioactive seeds (ie, brachytherapy) to provide radiation therapy is one of the three recommended treatment options for localized carcinoma of the prostate. This technique places the radioactive ...
