Summary
Swelling of the prostate can occur during and after a brachytherapy. This swelling can cause
urinary problems ranging from difficulty voiding to urinary retention. The purpose of this
study is to investigate whether Mobicox started one week before brachytherapy and then
continued afterwards is more effective in reducing the risk of needing a catheter than
Mobicox given only afterwards.
