  • If a person is suffering from prostate cancer,
    then getting operated is not the only way out.
    There is much simpler way and it is to opt for
    radiation as a treatment method to it. In the
    treatment of radiation for prostate cancer, seeds
    are used which are radioactive in nature are
    placed near to or at the site where the cancer
    cells are found or they are entered into the body
    from outside. The radiation helps to destroy the
    cancer cells. Since there are no side effects
    found to this method it is considered to be
    better option to the surgical method in which the
    chances of failure are much higher than compared
    to brachytherapy.
  • Now some question might arise in your mind
    regarding the treatment. Well some of your doubts
    will get cleared by the detailed information that
    follows here.

  • Why is the therapy for prostate cancer seeds used
    as a treatment?
  • The basic reasons for this are as follows
  • In the initial stages of cancer, the required
    treatment is done in the prostate gland and is
    low in grade. The cure rates in these kinds of
    cases are the same as in case of people who are
    treated by radical prostatectomy.
  • Along with the first treatment, hormone therapy
    is used in order to cure the cancer around the
    prostate gland and also in the nearby areas.
  • In case if the prostate cancer seeds do not work
    properly and the cancer is not cured or even if
    it recurs after the surgery is done.
  • To keep the cancer cells in control for as long
    as it can be possible, in cases where the cancer
    cells are advanced. The symptoms can be then
    prevented or relieved on the suffering.

  • Due to all these reasons, the radiation method is
    considered to be a better by many of the people
    and in increasingly being opted for as a
    treatment for the prostate cancer.
  • Two major types of treatment of the cancer
  • There are two main types radiation therapy which
    is used to treat the cancer.
  • External beam radiation In this method, the
    radiation beams are focused from outside the body
    with the help of a machine, on the prostate
    gland. Such radiations can cure the cancers which
    are in initial stages. It can also help to
    relieve the symptoms in case of the pain in the
    bones when the cancer has got spread to the
    bones. Correct measurements are taken before the
    treatment begins so the aim that is taken is
    correct and the correct dose of it is provided to
    the cancer cells.
  • Brachytherapy (internal radiation) In this
    method small pellets or seeds which are almost
    the size of the grain of rice is used which are
    entered directly into the prostate. These seeds
    emit radiations which ultimately destroy the
    cancer cells.
