Inclusion Criteria: 1. Newly diagnosed prostate cancer within the past 12 months: 2. The patient has decided to undergo brachytherapy as treatment modality for his prostate cancer. 3. Suitable volume of disease for biopsy, defined as one or more of the following: 1. Identifiable lesions of greater or equal to one 2. Clinically palpable disease corresponding to (ipsilateral to) any involved core on biopsy OR 3. ≥50% of biopsy cores involved with cancer 4. Patients or their legal representatives must have the ability to read, understand and provide written informed consent for the initiation of any study related procedures. 5. Males 18 years of age or older 6. Signed study-specific consent form prior to registration Exclusion Criteria: 1.
