Fiducial Marker Placement

In this procedure, the urologist passes an ultrasound probe into the rectum.  He then passes a needle with the fiducial marker (also known as a gold seed) down the probe and places the marker into the prostate.  Three markers are placed, before you have radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer.

It is important that you read your appointment letter carefully as there are instructions with it. There is a prescription for antibiotics that you need to get.  You may also need to have a blood test.
