Summary
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for men with early-stage prostate cancer that hasn't spread. One method places a radioactive seed directly into the prostate for a few minutes, while the other delivers radiation from outside the body in five sessions. The goal is to see which approach better maintains patients' quality of life. Fourteen men participated in this pilot study.
