Just stumbled across this, which refers to a couple of studies contradicting the paper by Grimm:
www.drcatalona.com/quest/quest_article_v8n5.htm
Dr. Brian Moran of the Chicago Prostate Center has a database - going back over a decade (maybe 15 years - details escape me) - of nearly 15,000 men (it might be more than 15,000 now). His results are excellent for cancer control and quality of life issues.
Dr. Moran also exposes many myths regarding brachytherapy.
1.) that brachytherapy is best for older men
2.) that surgery can't be done post-brachytherpay
3.) that with surgery a patient is 100% cured
4.) that seeds only work to contain cancer for 10 years
He also dispenses with what I am starting to call 'radiation hysteria' by giving men the science behind nuclear medicine.
