โœฆ Synopsis

Interstitial brachytherapy for treatment of prostate cancer with radioactive gold-initially with liquid gold and later with seed technique-is based on an experience of more than four decades. With biopsy results approaching a 80% negative rate, and, at 5 years, a cancer specific survival of 100% for Stages A and B1, 90% for Stage B2, and 76% for Stage C, this form of treatment offers an effective and well-tolerated alternative mode of therapy for patients with localized prostate cancer.

Brachytherapy is a radiotherapeutic technique that allows the physician to implant radioactive isotopes into a body cavity or directly into tissue. Different radioisotopes have unique characteristics that the brachytherapist may utilize for a particular situation. The use of brachytherapy is part of
