Sumario:BACKGROUND: To evaluate the security and effect of brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. METHODS: Forty five patients with Tl–T2 prostate cancer were treated with real-time transperineal ultrasound-guide (125)I seeds prostate implantation. RESULTS: The median operation time was 90 min, the median number of I seeds used was 56. The follow up time was 12–48 months, the cases of PSA <1 µg/L were 29, PSA 1–2 µg/L were 11 and PSA ≥2 µg/L were 5. CONCLUSIONS: Brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer is safe and effective.
