Hey hogy, Pretty good info on that Dr Grimm website. Took me a while to figure out those graphs and how to manipulate them, but they still leave me somewhat confused.
I plugged in robotic surgery and different EBRT regimens and they don’t seem all that different to me. Seed therapy, however, seemed to be better than both. Am I reading this correctly?
Thanks
Phil

I often wonder why the seeds do not get more attention. I have shared before that I have a 96 year old uncle who has had the seeds for probably 30-40 years seems to have helped him

Sorry for my delay phil.
Yes you are reading correctly. With external beam radiation, they have to quit radiating you because they are also dosing the other organs. At some point, they have to quit shooting.
With seeds they can dose a bit higher because the radiation emanates from inside the prostate
