  • for the surgery, it involves removal part of or all of the prostate.

    brachytherapy is a technique in which an radioactive source (i.e. seed) is implanted directly inside the tumor. The seed will produce radiation that can kill cancer cells within the target.

    Brahytherapy is a fast, inexpensive and highly sucessful technique.
