The prostate cancer treatment with the highest cure rate and the lowest side effect risk is also the one most men never hear about from their doctor.

Thousands of men have chosen higher-risk treatments because they didn't know this existed. After seeing more than 15,000 patients, I keep having the same conversation.

In this episode, I'm going to show you the procedure most cancer clinics stopped offering, the numbers most men never see before they decide, and the one question that tells you everything about whether your doctor is giving you the full picture.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What is LDR brachytherapy for prostate cancer?

LDR brachytherapy is a 30-minute outpatient procedure where radioactive seeds are placed directly into the prostate to destroy the cancer. It achieves a cure rate above 98% for localized prostate cancer and has the highest rate of preserved sexual function of any treatment option.

Does prostate cancer treatment cause permanent impotence?

It depends on the treatment. More than 65% of men over 70 experience permanent impotence after surgery. With LDR brachytherapy, 76% of men retain sexual function, particularly when function was good before the procedure.

Why don't most doctors offer prostate brachytherapy?

Brachytherapy fell out of practice primarily because it generates the least revenue of any radiation option, requires a specialized radioactive materials license most doctors don't hold, and the physicians trained in it retired without passing the skill to the next generation.
