Who is a Candidate for Seed Implantation?
Men with prostate cancer that is localized to the prostate (stages T1 and T2) are candidates for seed implantation. Men with more advanced disease may be candidates for seed implantation after radiation treatment. This treatment method will only be administered after consultation with both the urologist and the radiation oncology physicians. During this consultation, doctors will explain all treatment options available for clinically localized prostate cancer. They will present the existing data of these treatment options and outline a course of treatment specific to each patient.
