From the article: Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
Brachytherapy (seed therapy) is one of the most commonly chosen treatment options for prostate cancer in the United States. There are potential pros and cons to this option. So, why did you (or a loved one) choose brachytherapy?
Why I chose Brachytherapy
- 6 ft 1, 350 pounds, with diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, etc. made this a desirable choice as it meant less risks than surgery + I got to keep my prostate. 10+ years with no signs of reappearance. 2nd opinion on gleason score saved me from having to under go additional external radiation.
