Trial of radioactive implants offers improved prostate cancer survival


Have you heard of low-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy? It’s a medical technique that involves inserting tiny radioactive implants, or “seeds”, into a patient’s prostate gland.
A new trial has found these seeds to be more effective at fighting prostate cancer than more traditional external beam radiotherapy. Find out more about the trial in this article from The Guardian.

Treatment using permanently implanted radioactive ‘seeds’ doubles rates of five-year tumour-free survival compared with conventional high-dose radiotherapy
