Implanting permanent radioactive seeds in the prostate is a method of treating cancer. The procedure allows a concentrated dose of radiation to be delivered directly to the prostate cancer, limiting damage to other tissue.
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer involves the use of high-energy beams or radioactive seeds to eliminate tumors. The most common types we recommend for prostate cancer include brachytherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiosurgery, and proton therapy. Which radiation therapy approach we recommend depends on the unique characteristics of your disease.
