My father was diagonalized prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 8 and PSA-40. Suggested by your doctor, with brachytherapy. Although it is generally sound, a man of 82 years. I am afraid that the side effects too strong for him. Because cancer is considered high risk, radiation therapy can not be effective. If anyone give any information or opinions, really appreciate it.

I had the brachytherapy treatment in the past year. I'm 62nd There have been only very few side effects. The entire procedure takes about an hour. Within 48 hours he was back at work. I believe that the brachytherapy treatment less invasive method for PC.
I am glad that I chose brachytherapy. Six months after the seeds, my PSA was 2.4.
