Summary
This study tests a type of radiation called high-dose brachytherapy for men with prostate cancer that hasn't spread. Doctors place tiny radioactive sources directly into the prostate to deliver a strong dose to the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissue. The goal is to control the cancer and reduce side effects. About 146 men with early to moderate-stage prostate cancer are taking part.
