Answer:

prostate cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Permanent radioactive seed implants are a form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The terms "brachytherapy" or "internal radiation therapy" might also be used to describe this procedure. During the procedure, radioactive (iodine-125 or I-125) seeds are implanted into the prostate gland using ultrasound guidance.
