Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in men.The incidence of diagnosed prostate cancer among men has increased dramatically since 1990 because of the use of a screening blood test called prostate-specific antigen (PSA). There are many treatment options for prostate cancer that is confined to the prostate gland among which is Brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, involves placing radioactive "seeds" directly inside or next to the tumor and allows a physician to use a higher total dose of radiation to treat a smaller area and in a shorter time than is possible with external radiation treatment.
