Placement Of Radioactive Seeds Into The Prostate

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 55875

This is a procedure to place thin needles or small catheters through the skin between the scrotum and rectum directly into the prostate gland, creating a path to later position tiny radioactive seeds or sources inside the gland. It may be done with the help of a viewing scope passed into the bladder. It is a key step in delivering internal radiation treatment directly to prostate cancer while limiting radiation exposure to nearby tissue.
