I have wondered about the number of BT (and perhaps the type; Id vs Pd) seeds planted in the Prostate in ratio to the size of the Prostate and how this effects outcomes, Nadir, bounces, etc. Has anyone found data on this?

browntrout, my information found that the number of seeds is proportional to the amount of cancer they're trying to go after as opposed to the size/volume of the prostate itself.
