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, ...
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...

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...
