  • Using radiation with prostate cancer

    Radiation therapy includes external beam radiation and internal radiation. The external radiation therapy is to have radiation beams made by a machine. When we turn the machine on, the machine will deliver the beam and will radiate the site we want it to deliver radiation to. Patients receiving this kind of radiation will not be radioactive. The internal radiation is to have many little radioactive seeds implanted in the patient's prostate. The seeds will irradiate the patient's probate internally until the radioactivity is gone. So, patients with those seeds inside will be radioactive for sometimes. No kids should be arround them. READ MORE
