Can brachy therapy be of any use to metastatic prostate cancer patients ?? Or is it only used for low risk prostate cancer patients whose cancer is confined to the prostate ??
According to the study it was only used for a 1 time, low risk shot to the prostate. It is radiation so I guess not good for metastatic cancer.
I just checked on the Net and most of the articles indicate that brachy is meant for patients suffering from localized prostate cancer. Thanks for your reply.
