By: Prostate Seed Institute Brachytherapy is one of the most promising treatments for prostate cancer today, a fast, minimally invasive procedure that effectively provides treatment to cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy tissues and organs. Recent studies conducted by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, have shown that men who undergo brachytherapy - especially those with high-risk disease, have a 94% 15-year survival rate. During brachytherapy, a tiny radioactive seed is implanted into the tumor cavity. As the seed disintegrates, small amounts of radiation are released into the body. This is enough radiation to sufficiently and effectively target cancer cells in a very precise way. As a result, nearby healthy cells and organs are exposed to only minimal radiation. This is an out-patient procedure that is done very quickly and allows the patient to return to their regular routine within just a matter of days. These benefits have always allowed brachytherapy to stand out in the world of prostate cancer treatment, says the founder of the Prostate Seed Institute. But these new studies surrounding survival rates offer a new level of hope to prostate cancer patients. “At the Prostate Seed Institute, our focus is on making available new, exciting, cutting-edge treatments for our patients,” says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder of the Prostate Seed Institute. “Prostate seed therapy is an exciting treatment that offers great hope for long-term survival and good health and in the world of cancer care this is something to which we really pay close attention. We are proud to provide this revolutionary treatment to our patients.” http://www.youtube.com/ About PSI The Prostate Seed Institute is one of the country’s leading pioneers in prostate cancer treatment including prostate seed implementation, a fast and painless procedure that effectively treats prostate cancer in its earliest stages.
