Posts Tagged ‘HDR Brachytherapy?’

HDR (high dose rate) brachytherapy is performed at  our Miami urology center at Mount Sinai Medical Center as an adjunct to shorter courses of external beam radiation therapy specifically for patients with localized but large or advanced cancers of the prostate gland.
This computer controlled technique enables us to deliver radiation dose more efficiently to the regions adjacent to the prostate gland while limiting exposure to the rectum and bladder. This treatment requires a brief in-hospital stay.
