Summary

This study compares the side effects of two radiation treatments for men with low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer: brachytherapy (radioactive seeds placed in the prostate) and stereotactic radiotherapy (focused external beams over 5 sessions). Both treatments use a protective gel to shield the rectum. About 220 men will be randomly assigned to one treatment and followed for 5 years to see which causes fewer urinary, bowel, and sexual side effects.
