Treatment options for primary liver cancer
SIRT is also known as SIR-Spheres®, TheraSphere®, Yttrium 90, Y90 and
brachytherapy
.
Chemotherapy (e.g., sorafenib)
destroys cancer cells and stops the production of new cancer cells by using a variety of chemicals.

Low PSA (Less than 2 ng/ml) but high Gleason (9) cancer which spread to liver
ADT (degarilex) and radiation (
brachytherapy
and external beam) controlled everything for a while but in fall of 2016 the cancer spread through the lymph system to bones, lungs, and liver. I am now on chemotherapy (doxitaxil and carboplatin) along with ADT.

Ok, time to deal with this!
Haven't made any final decisions but the more I read, the more I am leaning towards
brachytherapy
. It seems the least intrusive, quick recovery and hopefully fewer side effects.

What to expect post surgery from PSA scores
Then in 2011, with a new biopsy, completed a
brachytherapy
. Went 5 years with rising PSA to 11.3 and did the above surgery on 11/15/16 at the U. of Minnesota. Surgery was a success in that both SV's were removed along with the 10 lymph nodes. All L. Nodes came back negative for cancer.

My treatment consisted of Lupron + a session of MRI guided High Dose Rate (HDR)
brachytherapy
, followed by 25 sessions of external beam 3DCRT radiotherapy, plus one more session of HDR.

What is the best way to radiate the prostate in 2016?
Recent studies including several randomized trials support the use of
brachytherapy
in combination with external beam RT for higher-risk patients. RT for prostate cancer continues to evolve.

Bicalutamide (Casodex) plus Dutasteride (Avodart)
Similar to [3], a 2016 Canadian paper [4] reported that: "Dutasteride and Bicalutamide is a regimen of non-inferior efficacy to LHRH agonist based regimens for prostate volume reduction prior to permanent implant prostate
brachytherapy
."

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Iodine
Unfortunately, most are related to Iodine-125-
brachytherapy
. In fact, I haven't found any study that links iodine deficiency to PCa. Yet Dr. Brownstein is adamant that PCa is one of a long list of diseases where deficiency increases risk.
