Has anyone had HDR Brachytherapy for locally advanced Prostate cancer

Posted by tom57 @tom57, Apr 6, 2024

I’m considering having HDR brachytherapy with IMRT with Dr. Albert Chang at UCLA. I’ve been diagnosed with Gleason 9 locally advanced prostate cancer with metastasis to one pelvic lymph node. Has anyone been treated by Dr. Chang or any other radiation oncologist with HDR brachytherapy and what were the results? Also, has anyone had brachytherapy to a regional lymph node? Dr. Chang has said he has done this with very good results. Thanks.

@hanayoj, may I ask, what treatment did your husband and his cancer team at Mayo decide was best for his situation? Has he started treatment?

@colleenyoung In the end he decided on surgery because he definitely wanted to avoid ADT, due to some other health factors. He is scheduled for early next month.
