Dr. Rizwan (Riz) Nurani, a radiation oncologist at Western Radiation Oncology, treats patients in and around Mountain View, California. Dr. Rizwan D. Nurani performs radiological treatments, including brachytherapy, for patients with prostate cancer.

Brachytherapy involves the temporary or permanent placement of radioactive materials inside of a patient for the purpose of destroying malignant tissue. Benefits of the treatment include the ability to introduce a higher dose of radiation to a smaller region possible than through other radiation delivery means, such as beam therapy.

Though doctors can use brachytherapy to address cancers located in many different parts of the body, it is especially useful in prostate cancer treatment. In the low-dose version of brachytherapy, radiologists place roughly 100 radioactive particles into the prostate. They remain in the prostate permanently and deliver a continuous radiation dose for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

In patients with more aggressive or advanced prostate cancers, doctors may suggest high-dose brachytherapy in conjunction with beam therapy. The high-dose version of the procedure involves the temporary insertion of a radioactive isotope into the prostate.
