Prostate cancer is an important health problem, mainly in elderly men. It is the second cause of death among men in USA ant the third at the "Registro del Cáncer de Tarragona", behind both the lung and colorectal cancer. About the 58% of the newly diagnosed cancers are localized, therefore, they have to be treated with curative intention. Radical prostatectomy is considered the gold standard treatment for organ confined prostate cancer in our country. On basis to the experience of American groups and the improvement of both, image techniques and dosimetric calculation, brachytherapy has been brought in as a new option in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. We started our program of brachytherapy for prostate cancer on May 2000. We have performed 51 procedures by now. Our protocol and the technique to perform a prostatic brachytherapy are described following.
