Am I a candidate for a Seed Implant?
How is the Seed Implant Performed?
How do I prepare for a Seed Implant?
Is it true that I can’t be near children while the seeds are implanted?
Are there any other radiation precautions I must take after the Seed Implant?
Are there any short-term “acute" side effects of Seed Implantation?
Are there any long-term "late" side effects of Seed Implantation?
Prostate Brachytherapy, also known as a Radioactive Transperineal Protate Seed Implant is another method of delivering radiation which uses radioactive seeds implanted into the prostate. This form of therapy delivers photon radiation from the “inside-out,” as opposed to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy or Image Guided Radiation Therapy, otherwise known as: IMRT/IGRT, which delivers radiation from the “outside-in.”
