Is brachytherapy plus external radiation a good Prostate Cancer treatment option ?

In the following video, Dr. Gerald Chodak discusses a recent large study which reports on men treated by combining seed implantation and external radiation. There are many flaws with the report and it provides very misleading information about the effectiveness of this treatment while completely omitting any information about side effects. Men should be very concerned if their doctor advises this combination as it is more likely to be good for the doctor than for you, the patient.
