Radical prostatectomy remains the 'golden standard' therapy for localized prostate carcinoma for patients with a survival rate of more than ten years. However, because of the complications inherent in this surgical procedure, prostatectomy is presently increasingly challenged by various radiotherapy procedures. In the last decade, more sophisticated conformal therapy techniques have been proposed for prostate cancer patients. In parallel, for highly selected patients, brachytherapy is being promoted by an increasing number of medical centers. In fact, brachytherapy techniques for prostate cancers can be traced back to 1911, but recently developed techniques offer reliability and reproducibility, with satisfactory results in terms of tumor control and reduced toxicity, in selected patients. We present here the different techniques that are available today in prostate cancer brachytherapy.
