Brief Summary: RATIONALE The use of nutritional supplements such as selenium may stop prostate cancer from growing Internal radiation such as brachytherapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells Giving selenium before brachytherapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase I trial is studying selenium to see how well it works compared to placebo in treating patients who are undergoing brachytherapy for stage I or stage II prostate cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the effects of selenium vs placebo on tissue biomarkers of prostate cancer susceptibility using tissue samples from biopsies before and after treatment in patients undergoing brachytherapy for stage I or II prostate cancer

Secondary

Determine the effects of selenium on antioxidant enzyme activities in these patients
Determine preliminarily whether there is a threshold effect among patients with low baseline levels of selenium treated with this drug

OUTLINE Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral selenium for 3-6 weeks Patients then undergo brachytherapy
Arm II Patients receive oral placebo for 3-6 weeks Patients then undergo brachytherapy

After completion of study treatment patients are followed at 1 and 6 months
