Intraoperative treatment planning for radioactive seed implant therapy for prostate cancer. Urology 2000;56(3):492- 495.Kaplan ID,Holupka EJ,Meskell P,et al.Intraoperative treatment planning for radioactive seed
Permanent seed implant is an established treatment for prostate cancer that is now being tested for APBI. The invasive procedure involves the insertion of radioactive iodine or palladium seeds under ultrasound guidance with local anesthesia. The seeds deliver a dose of up to 90 Gy at a relatively...
prostate brachytherapy, migration, simulationBrachytherapy using permanent seed implants has been an effective treatment for prostate cancer. However, seeds will migrate after implant, thus making the evaluation of post-implant dosimetry difficult. In this study, we developed a computer program to ...
Why Prostate Seed Implant? Brachytherapy for prostate cancer is also known as Prostate Seed Implantation (PSI). Brachytherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that places radiation sources or seeds directly inside the prostate allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered while limiting...

New sources are being developed, some of which are being marketed for different clinical applications. A new technique of adjuvant stereotactic permanent seed breast implant, similar to that used in the treatment of prostate cancer, has been proposed by with encouraging results. The presence of ...
Transperineal permanent iodine-125 seed implantation (PI) for prostate cancer is widely accepted as a standard procedure for treating early-stage prostate cancer [1, 2]. It has shown favorable treatment outcomes [3, 4]. In Japan, treatment with iodine-125 (I-125) was introduced in July 2003...
