Using Golden Seed Treatment of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com The marker used is a gold seed implant that is inserted inside the body, transrectal ultrasound guided is to be located in the affected prostate tissue. These implanted gold seeds are used to focus the radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Performing previous insertion of these seeds, function as a specific marker which allows limit thus very accurately irradiating the affected area, and thus reducing maximum healthy tissue that radiate treatment. Results The results obtained with the implementation of these gold seeds in the affected prostate tissue, show that the use of bright seeds act as locators, which allows reducing the number of complications and thus increases the effectiveness of treatment radiotherapy. This positive effect is produced to limit and minimize the irradiation field of X-ray beams generated by tissue damage to the area affected by the cancer cells dying to do. Gold seeds have no internal migration between them. That is why the simulations show the added convenience of correction protocols based on gold seeds. Since gold seeds are representative of the position of the prostate. To identify the area to be irradiated, the damage to healthy tissue surrounding the affected is imperceptible, which increases the radiation dose. Without affecting healthy organs surrounding the prostate. Conclusion
