Summary

This study tests a new way to deliver internal radiation (brachytherapy) for men with early-stage prostate cancer. By using a special PET scan to find only the aggressive parts of the tumor, doctors hope to treat just those areas and leave healthy tissue alone, which may reduce side effects. About 20 men will take part to see if this focused approach can cover the tumor effectively while lowering harm to the rest of the prostate.
