Abstract:
With one or serveral charges of 137 Cs placed in an ordinary indwelling catheter, one can deliver to the prostate a radiation dose in 24 hours equivalent to the same dose which could be produced by 226 Ra in five days, or 60 Co in 6 to 7 weeks using the usual methods. 10 patients in whom a carcinoma of the prostate was discovered during adenomectomy (hidden Ca, stage A) have been treated in this way with hardly any immediate disadvantages.
