Brachytherapy is really a superb option. UCLA has a great team. Low dose is also good when your doctor is well experienced.
That was my experience. Some surprises (Man Menopause, fatigue,The 33 needle catheters) but all is good now.
So well explained! 👍
Another great video... thanks for the info!
Thanks you so much for the video. This is one of the best videos talking about Brachytherapy I even watched. I am a prostate cancer ( three gleason-7, one gleason-9, with extra-capsular extension). I am also a high-risk hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient. Are there any extra things need to be taken consideration in the therapy process?
Is there a cut off on the size of the prostate?
Dear Doctor, you talked about selection of patient for breachytherapy, does a weak eurodynimics has any impact on fhis selection!

Other then M Sloan Kettering, where can one find HDR brachy in the NYC area? Seems extremely rare
Fox Chase cancer center in Phildalphia .
Mount Sinai is highly regarded
@@MichaelJoneshughesjones I ended up with SBRT at Columbia P. Next week I go for my first PSA test since the last session of radiation. The side effects were not too bad. Sore and urgency and some painful urination but that's history now. Keep my fingers crossed.
Can I get this guy? :)
What is risk of other organs being damaged with radiation
