14: What can I do if I was previously treated with external radiation for prostate cancer and now my PSA is rising?

We are one of the few centers in the world experienced enough to provide prostate seed implants to men who recurred following treatment with proton radiation or traditional external radiation. Some studies have shown that up to 2 out of 3 men can be successfully treated in this manner. At the time of consultation, we can recommend some simple tests to help determine if this is a safe and potentially effective option for you.
