Brachytherapy for Prostatic Carcinoma Patients
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a prostate implant (brachytherapy) can help to control intermediate risk prostate cancer. The safety of this procedure will also be studied. Prostate brachytherapy is performed by inserting permanent seeds (which are radioactive pellets) into your prostate in order to treat the prostate cancer with radiation therapy.
