Radiation oncology nurses must be adequately educated on the care and management of patients and families undergoing high-dose rate brachytherapy for early-stage prostate cancer. The application of advanced assessment skills, while incorporating the treatment aspects of radiation, provides a framework for standards of nursing practice in this field. Current methodologies of radiation therapy are recommended for overall professional growth and improvement of patient care.
