Abstract
Standard prostate brachytherapy (PB) seeds fit into 18 gauge (G) needles. In Aug 2008 a thinner I125 seed was introduced. These new seeds fit into 20G needles. The purpose of using thinner needles is to minimize trauma to the patient during PB. This study compared the post-PB dosimetry and acute toxicity between the use of standard seeds in 18G needles and thinner seeds in 20G needles.
