5: Are all men with prostate cancer eligible for seed implants?

We believe that all men without evidence of metastasis (cancer spread to other organs) have a chance to be cured of their cancer by a prostate seed implant and/or IMRT. We recommend that men diagnosed with prostate cancer consult with both a Urologist and a Radiation Oncologist. Based on extensive data, we can tell you what your risk of having disease outside the prostate is. We will review your past medical history and current physical condition and discuss the pros and cons of surgery, external radiation, and seed implants. We have seed implant protocols to treat men with both early and advanced stage disease.
