In prostate cancer, brachytherapy involves the ultrasound- and template-guided insertion of radioactive seeds into the gland. (See the image below.) Brachytherapy for prostate cancer.

Purpose: Transperineal prostate brachytherapy has achieved excellent results when used alone in men with favorable risk prostate cancer. Potential side effects of prostate brachytherapy include seed migration and seed pulmonary embolization. The use of radioactive seeds embedded in a bio-dissolvable ...
That applies to anything that involves technical skill, whether it's removing a skin lesion, plastic surgeons, heart surgery, prostate cancer, radioactive seeds. Even the finesse of the doctors that don't actually do seed placement, but calculate the dosing of the radiation. There's…there's...
Radioactive I-125 seeds were initially used for interstitial radiation treatment for prostate cancer. These I-125 seeds emit low-dose radiation (0.08–0.4 mCi) that can be detected with a gamma probe through the skin at the time of surgery.90–92 This dose of radiation is very low and the...

Low-dose brachytherapy is an increasingly used treatment for PCa, which requires the implantation of tens of radioactive seeds. This treatment causes discomfort; ...
These “seeds” are usually smaller than a grain of rice. When injected into the tissue, they provide radiation to the surrounding cells, within a 1.7 cm radius. Cancer cells are much more sensitive to the radiation, thus surrounding tissue is not effected, while the cancer cells are killed...

Prostate cancer implants can be permanent or temporary. The permanent implant is most commonly performed with either 125I or 103Pd radioactive seeds and temporary implants utilize 192Ir sources. Intracavitary and intraluminal: With the intracavitary technique, hollow stainless steel applicators hold the...
