1.   And the newer radioactive seed implants were not recommended because his prostate was already enlarged by benign hypertrophy.

2.   A second is radiation therapy, administered either externally or through radioactive seeds implanted in the diseased prostate.

3.   He then settled on radioactive seed therapy.

4.   In cyberspace, Ward learned of a technique called brachytherapy, in which radioactive seeds are implanted in the prostate to kill cancer cells.

5.   In September, doctors implanted radioactive seeds in his prostate, then began daily external radiation, which is to last for two more weeks.

6.   In this procedure, significantly higher doses of radiation are delivered through a radioactive seed temporarily implanted in the breast.

7.   It guides the implantation of tiny radioactive seeds precisely within cancerous prostate glands.

8.   Radioactive seed implants, tiny pellets of radioactive metal inserted into the prostate gland, have become an increasingly popular alternative to surgery.

9.   Pioneering work in the radioactive seed procedure began about a decade ago.

10.   The radioactive seeds are injected through that catheter, left inside the stent for three to four minutes and removed, Sinnathamby says.
