Hi All,



Thanks to all who replied.  I got a rapid response to my question.  They are governed only by their physical half life.



Thanks,



Linda

Hi All,



I searched the archives for an answer to my question with no success, so here goes.  What is the typical effective half life for I-125 seeds used to treat prostate cancer?  Are they governed by the physical half life or is there biological removal involved? 



Thanks,



Linda
