Health professional information
Clinical service overview
Working within the Alfred Health Radiation Oncology unit, the Melbourne Prostate unit began treating prostate patients with brachytherapy in 1998.
We continue to invest in the latest and most effective Brachytherapy equipment available to provide a comprehensive range of treatment options to men with prostate cancer. We work closely with urologists and medical oncologists to ensure that all treatment techniques are considered. This ensures the patient is able to make an informed and appropriate decision for their situation.
We provide the following prostate brachytherapy treatment:
- Seed brachytherapy
- High dose rate brachtherapy
