UroTech is devoted to keeping pace with the growing need for better and more widespread brachytherapy services. Like UroTech's thermotherapy and lithotripsy services, UroTech delivers top of the line equipment and expertise to facilities seeking to improve their services for prostate cancer. We work hand in hand with radiation oncologists, physicists, and urologists to develop Centers of Excellence for brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy: Localized Control in Prostate Cancer

The increased use of the PSA test has led to the diagnosis of cancer in many younger men who are more likely to have localized prostate cancer. In determining the best treatment for localized prostate cancer, brachytherapy has been found to be quite beneficial. The advanced imaging capabilities now used in brachytherapy allow seed implantation with better outcomes. The results of five-year studies have shown clinical success rates similar to surgery. Ten-year data show radical prostatectomy as slightly superior to brachytherapy.

Customized Brachytherapy Programs

UroTech consults with facilities to determine the proper array of equipment and menu of services needed at each facility. We can provide a full turn-key solution or efficiently manage a facility's radioactive seed purchasing. UroTech can deliver any level of service that fits within a facility's strategy for high-level brachytherapy service.
