Brachytherapy Arrives At The London Clinic
27 July 2007
Professor Stephen Langley, consultant urologist at The London
Clinic, performed brachytherapy for the first time at the Clinic in
July. The minimally invasive procedure treats early, localised
prostate cancer by implanting radioactive seeds into the prostate
to destroy the cancer cells.
Brachytherapy is an important addition to The London Clinic’s
existing specialist service offering to treat prostate cancer.
Existing services include robotic surgery to remove the prostate
laparoscopically, using the world-renowned da Vinci Surgical
System.
