Radioactive seeds take aim at prostate cancer without extra hormones

NCT ID NCT00525720

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a one-time procedure called brachytherapy, where tiny radioactive seeds are placed directly into the prostate, can control intermediate risk prostate cancer without needing additional treatments. Three hundred men with specific tumor features (Gleason score and PSA levels) are taking part. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control, measured by PSA levels.
