Irving, Texas- November 21, 2019-Prostate brachytherapy, the implantation of radioactive seeds into the prostate gland, is one of the standard methods of successfully treating prostate cancer. The tiny radioactive seeds are smaller than grains of rice.

“A prostate seed implant may be the only type of radiation therapy needed by a man with low-risk prostate cancer,” says Dr. Echt. “It may also be prescribed in addition to external beam radiation therapy in men with intermediate- and high- risk prostate cancer. The goal is to eradicate cancer cells while preserving healthy, surrounding tissue, such as the bladder, the urethra, and the rectum.”

• For the last 15 years of the data available on this method of cancer treatment, it has been proven to be a better option for prostate cancer treatment. In several medical researches, seed implantation equals or exceeds the cure rate to eliminate the prostate

• Radiation exposure to other people is minimal, so restrictions do not apply unless the man is returning to a setting where a young child or pregnant woman is present.

• Prostate Seed Implants take one to two hours; after the procedure, the person leaves the clinic. Most patients can go back to their routine within a day or two.

• The procedure requires only minor surgery, usually causing fewer side effects than other treatments.

• Treatment is usually painless, as the patient is given a mild anesthetic. Recovery is quicker and has fewer complications because the procedure does not require major surgery.

“Our experts use ultrasound and sophisticated computer programs to help guide placement of the radioactive seeds,” Says Dr. Echt. “Using the most advanced technology available, we can target the prostate with higher doses of radiation while minimizing the exposure of healthy tissue.”
