Aims: Permanent low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy is a well-established treatment for early prostate cancer. We have been using this technique at  LDR brachytherapy. Also known as: Low-dose-rate brachytherapy, Prostate seed implant, Prostate brachytherapy, 1-125 brachytherapy. LDR involves the  Brachytherapy also has a role as salvage treatment in patients who develop local recurrence following previous EBRT. Either permanent seed low dose-rate (LDR)

It is sometimes referred to as low dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, seed implantation. It is different from External   Low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. Permanent radioactive seeds are implanted directly into the prostate via transperineal needles that are inserted with 

During high-dose-rate brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed in your body for a short period — from a few minutes up to 20 minutes. You may undergo one or two sessions a day over a number of days or weeks.

It is sometimes referred to as low dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, seed implantation. It is different from External   Low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. Permanent radioactive seeds are implanted directly into the prostate via transperineal needles that are inserted with  Low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy involves implanting radiation sources that emit radiation at a rate of up to 2 Gy·h−1. Following treatment, the applicator is removed. Whereas low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy places radioactive materials inside the body for extended periods of  Low Dose Rate (LDR) Monotherapy is appropriate for low and low-tier intermediate risk prostate cancer.

About LDR brachytherapy Low dose-rate brachytherapy (seed implantation) is a kind of internal radiotherapy for prostate cancer. It is targeted only at the site of the tumour so the radiation kills the cancer cells without causing major damage to surrounding healthy cells. High-dose rate implants: In this type of brachytherapy, the radiation source is left in place for just 10 to 20 minutes at a time and then taken out. You may have treatment twice a day for 2 to 5 days or once a week for 2 to 5 weeks.
