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 ...
Solitary Rectal Ulcer with Anal "Seeds" Discharge after Transperineal Interstitial Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer: A case report with review of the literature Brachytherapy was employed as curative treatment modality for localized prostate cancer early in the 20 th century. Transperineal implantation of...
A doctor or clinician implants radioactive (iodine-125 or palladium-103) seeds into the prostate gland using anultrasoundfor guidance. The number of seeds and where they are placed is determined by a computer-generated treatment plan tailored for each patient. Anywhere from 40 to 100 seeds are ...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of death among men. Low-dose brachytherapy is an increasingly used treatment for PCa, which requires the implantation of tens of radioactive seeds. This treatment causes discomfort; these implants cannot be removed, and they generate image ...
