Preserving the Prostate: Enhancing Life Quality with HDR Brachytherapy

Dr. Alfonso Gomez-Iturriaga, MD, PhD, emphasizes the importance of preserving the prostate in prostate cancer treatment with brachytherapy. He highlights how this patient-centered approach effectively treats tumors while maintaining prostate function.

Real-time brachytherapy offers outstanding results in biochemical control, local control, and distant metastases, all while keeping side effects to a minimum. With high-dose radiation delivered directly to the prostate, patients experience low rates of side effects, ensuring their quality of life remains intact.

The key highlights include:

•    Prostate preservation with effective tumor treatment
•    Minimal side effects, ensuring the patient's quality of life is not diminished
•    Urinary and bowel functions remain unchanged post-treatment
•    Sexual function: 50% better than traditional surgery
