Subject: [PPML] Prostate cancer patients who receive brachytherapy twice as likely to be free of cancer after five years

Summary: Results from a randomised controlled trial to compare the use of permanent radioactive implants (brachytherapy) with dose-escalated external beam radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer show that the men who received brachytherapy were twice as likely to be cancer-free five years later.
