Mike, you would be surprised at the number of patients that we have come in and request the latest in treatment techniques that they have learned about from the internet. We have individuals coming in and requesting 3D conformal radiation therapy as well as prostate brachytherapy. As for the benefits of Prostate BT vs. External Beam Therapy, recent studies are showing that except in the cases of stage one prostate ca, EBRT is just as good or better than brachytherapy. The problem with brachytherapy, besides costs, is that it looks great in theory, but in the not so perfect world, adequate and even distribution of radioactive seeds into the prostate through perianal insertion is difficult. 2
