Precision Brachytherapy: Prostate Cancer Breakthrough

Dr. Alfonso Gomez-Iturriaga, MD, PhD, dives into how research and evidence have enhanced the accuracy of prostate brachytherapy. By directly administering a high dose of radiation inside the prostate (via needle insertion), we can confidently target the tumor with precision, ensuring maximum treatment effectiveness while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

Why Choose Brachytherapy?
•    Higher Conformality: Prostate brachytherapy outperforms other treatments like VMAT, SBRT, and proton therapy.
•   Better Outcomes with Combination Treatment: Clinical data shows that combining prostate brachytherapy with external beam radiation delivers significantly better results compared to external beam alone.
