Your age is very important, as others have said. Treatment outcomes for both modalities are pretty much the same.
If you only have a very small area of G4, depending on where it is in the gland, you might be a candidate for focal therapy - HIFU, TulsaPro, etc.

Thanks for the input. I am still trying to find out if the majority of these changes to your penis was due to a prostatectomy? I have not been told these issues would happen with Brachy Radiation?

I am meeting with both a Surgeon and a Radiologist at Moffit Cancer Center (Center of Excellence) in Tampa this Wednesday and will specifically ask this question. I have been told that focal therapy is not recommended as a first line treatment, but again I will ask.
