Prostate seeding sets are specialized medical devices used in brachytherapy, a form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. These sets typically consist of tiny radioactive seeds, often made of materials like iodine or palladium, enclosed in biocompatible materials. They are designed to be implanted directly into the prostate gland, where they deliver targeted radiation to cancerous cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Prostate seeding sets are meticulously planned and placed with precision using imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI, ensuring optimal distribution and effectiveness of radiation treatment. This approach offers several advantages over traditional external beam radiation, including shorter treatment times, reduced risk of side effects, and improved outcomes for many patients with localized prostate cancer.
