Title	Medical Event - Dosage Delivered to Patient Differed by 20% from Prescribed Dosage
Event Description	On 7/5/11 a male patient receiving treatment for prostate cancer was supposed to receive 52 Iodine-125 seeds to the prostate. The physician conducting the surgery injected 21 of the 52 seeds to an area outside the target volume. Only 31 of the 52 seeds were injected into the targeted area. The physician and patient will be advised of the disparity in dosage. A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient. * * RETRACTION AT 1100 EST ON 4/19/12 FROM RICHARD TO SIMPSON * * * The licensee is retracting this event report after a review and evaluation of the doses administered. The licensee has determined that this event is not reportable based on the delivered dose not differing by 20% from the prescribed dosage and is therefore not reportable under 10 CFR 35.3045. The licensee has discussed this conclusion with NRC Region 3 (Warren). R3DO (Peterson) and FSME (McIntosh) have been notified.
