What follow up will there be after seed implantation?
The first visit is at 6-8 weeks and thereafter every three months for two years. After two years, visits are recommended every six months. After five years, a PSA is scheduled every six months and a physical exam at least once a year. Alternating these visits between the radiation oncologist and urologist insures complete care. If the patient has a good internist or family practitioner, we encourage his/her participation as well. Most important is to have a concerned, knowledgeable physician following the course.
