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, ...
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 an art to it. Some people just instinctively know what to do and have few complications...
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...

PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN BOUNCE AFTER RADIOACTIVE SEED IMPLANTATION FOLLOWED BY EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION FOR PROSTATE CANCER Purpose: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) may temporarily increase following radiotherapy for prostate cancer without signaling cancer recurrence. We descri... FA Critz,WW Hamilton,JB...
The Radiation Dose Levels For Various Forms of Radiation Survivor Stories With the precision of a highly targeted prostate seed implant, Texas Prostate Seed Institute can help treat your prostate cancer safely and effectively so you can get back to living your life. ...
Purpose: Gold seed fiducial markers can be used to accurately define daily treatment field placement for prostate cancer patients. In 2007, a small study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using gold seed fiducial markers. Methods: Eleven patients who attended for treatment had three ...

We report a case of radiation pneumonitis caused by a migrated seed lodged in the lung after prostate brachytherapy. A 71-year-old man underwent transperineal interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. On the day after brachytherapy, a routine postimplant chest X-ray...
