Surgical Exposure Of Prostate For Radiation Seeds

Maine rates for HCPCS 55860

Surgery that opens the area around the prostate so radioactive sources can be placed directly into the gland to treat prostate cancer from within. Placing the sources inside the gland concentrates the radiation on the tumor while limiting the dose to the bladder and rectum nearby. This version reaches the prostate through an incision rather than placing the sources through the skin under imaging guidance.
