Treatment of low-risk prostate cancer: a  retrospective study with 477 patients comparing external beam radiotherapy and I-125 seeds brachytherapy in terms of biochemical control and late side effects

ConclusionBoth EBRT and seeds provide excellent biochemical control with bNED rates after 10  years of about 90%. In terms of side effects, patients treated with seeds show higher grades of genitourinary side effects, while patients treated with EBRT show higher grades of gastrointestinal side effects.
