Thank you for this great question. Brachytherapy, the procedure to place localized radiation sources into the prostate gland to kill cancer cells is an effective way to manage localized prostate cancer without resorting to surgery. This method is still utilized by radiation oncologists. Other ways to deliver radiation are also available such as external beam, and proton therapy. Localized radiotherapy is not usually utilized if the cancer has spread beyond the prostate to other parts of the body, such as bones or regional lymph nodes. Prostate cancer treatment is becoming more sophisticated with many more options.
