Abstract
Along with radical prostatectomy and external radiotherapy, brachytherapy for prostate cancer is among the standard treatmentmethods for localized prostate cancer. When compared with the other methods of external radiotherapy, brachytherapy is bestfor the delivery of a high radiation dose to the prostate while sparing the surrounding tissues.
Because of its very low morbidityrates, it still remains a current and popular treatment modality. International guidelines for indication and optimal patient selectionare being constantly supplemented and refined.
