For men with T1 or T2 prostate cancer, seed therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to shrink and eradicate tumors confined to the prostate. Using seed therapy, a urologist implants fifty to one-hundred radioactive capsules (called "seeds") into the prostate, and the radioactive emissions slowly destroy the tumor. Most patients who undergo seed therapy are cancer-free within five years.
