- Clinical stages T1-T2c N0 M0 as staged by the treating investigator. (AJCC Criteria 7th Ed.- appendix III).
- Histological evaluation of prostate biopsy with assignment of a Gleason score to the biopsy material; Gleason score must be in the range of 2-7. \> 6 cores are strongly recommended.
- PSA values \< = 20 ng/ml within 90 days prior to randomization. Obtained prior to biopsy or at least 21 days after prostate biopsy.

- Patients must be able to start treatment within 56 days of randomization.
- Patients must be at least 18 years old.
- For brachytherapy, an IPSS ≤ 21, or ≤ 17 if patient is on medications to improve urination.
- For brachytherapy, prostate volume must be less than 55cc prior to AS.
Exclusion
- Pelvic lymph nodes \> 1.5 cm in greatest dimension unless the enlarged lymph node is biopsied and negative.
- Previous prostate cancer surgery to include: prostatectomy, hyperthermia and cryosurgery.
- Previous pelvic radiation for prostate cancer.
