Summary

The purpose of this study is to see what side effects a type of radiation treatment called focal brachytherapy has in treating early stage prostate cancer. The study is also looking at how useful focal brachytherapy will be in treating prostate cancer. Additionally, the investigators would like to see how this type of treatment impacts quality of life.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Prostate Biopsy, Focal Brachytherapy , Assessment of QOL

A re-staging transrectal or transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy as currently performed at participating institutions. Focal brachytherapy will be performed at 8 weeks following the transrectal or transperineal biopsy or sooner if the patient has recovered from the repeat biopsy and the treating physician determines it is safe to proceed with treatment. The regions will be targeted with the prescription dose and receive 144 Gy of Iodine-125 (I-125). The quality-of-life assessment will focus on erectile function, urinary function, bowel function, and general health related quality of life. The patients will complete this assessment at baseline and then approximately 3 ± 1 months, 6 ± 1 months, 12 ± 2 months, 18 ± 2 months, and 24 ± 2 months after treatment.
