It
is possible to give radical radiotherapy in
three ways.
The
first is by "external beam" where radiation
is targeted on the prostate and surrounding
tissues to destroy cancer cells.
The
second, "conformal radiotherapy", is a
modifiction of external beam but is a more
targeted approach. It seeks to minimise the
radiation to the surrounding area. Conformal
radiotherapy may not be available in your area.
In
the third, "brachytherapy", radioactive
implants are placed in the prostate. This is
becoming more common but may also not be
available in your area.
