Radioactive Transperineal Prostate Seed Implant

Prostate Brachytherapy, also known as a Radioactive Transperineal Prostate Seed Implant is another method of delivering radiation which uses radioactive seeds implanted into the prostate. This form of therapy delivers photon radiation from the “inside-out,” as opposed to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy or Image Guided Radiation Therapy, otherwise known as: IMRT/IGRT, which delivers radiation from the “outside-in.”

When you or someone you love is told they have cancer, the world seems to stop in its tracks; it may seem impossible to know what to do next. At ARC, our physicians and staff are here to help, whether it is answering questions about treatment options, or just helping to coordinate testing. We provide the most sophisticated treatments, and handle each patient’s situation with the individual attention and care it deserves.

ARC and its physicians have received many honors for their contributions to cancer care in the medical communities that we serve – but our true recognition is that so many of our patients come to us because a friend, neighbor or loved one was treated and cured at an ARC facility. At ARC, our physicians and staff treat every patient as if they were part of our own family. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

And remember, if you or a loved one has cancer – we are here to help.
