High-Dose Brachytherapy As Cure for Localized Prostate Cancer

[Guest guest]

High-dose-rate brachytherapy is a relatively new radiotherapeutic

intervention that is used as a curative treatment for patients with

many types of cancer. Advances in mechanical systems and computer

applications result in a sophisticated treatment technique that

reliably delivers a high-quality radiation dose distribution to the

intended target. Patients with localized prostate cancer may benefit

from high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which may be used alone in certain

circumstances or in combination with external-beam radiotherapy in

other settings.Click on the below link for the full story:<http://www.urotoday.com/61/browse_categories/prostate_cancer/highdoserate_brachytherapy_in_the_curative_treatment_of_patients_with_localized_prostate_cancer__abstract.html>
