نهج Mayo Clinic

At Mayo Clinic, prostate cancer care is delivered by a team of specialists who work closely together. This team may include experts in urology, radiation oncology and medical oncology. They coordinate your care so you can often meet with several specialists in a short period of time and get a treatment plan without long delays.

Mayo Clinic doctors have experience with both permanent low dose rate brachytherapy and temporary high dose rate brachytherapy. When needed, brachytherapy also can be combined with other prostate cancer treatments as part of a personalized care plan.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Mayo Clinic doctors have access to the latest approaches to planning and delivering brachytherapy treatments for prostate cancer.

Mayo Clinic's radiation oncology professionals tailor treatment to your specific situation. After the radiation oncologist identifies the areas of the prostate to be treated, radiation therapy is carefully planned and simulated before actual treatment to minimize the dose of radiation to healthy tissues.
