The radiogel is the result of years of research by scientists for Battelle to develop a radioactive isotope product that would be injected into the body, stay in place and deliver a high dose of cancer-killing radiation.

The technology could be used for solid cancers that cannot be removed surgically and require high doses of radiation for treatment to be successful, said Darrell Fisher, a senior scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the recipient of the grant for his research for Battelle.

The radiogel includes a polymer and microspheres of the medical isotope yttrium 90 in a water-based solution. The polymer is in liquid form when it’s injected to the cancer site, but quickly turns into a gel at body temperature and stays in place.

The polymer binds the microspheres in place as the yttrium 90 bombards the cancer with radiation, with little of the radiation reaching nearby healthy tissue. It has applications for cancers of the liver, brain, head and neck, kidney and pancreas, and is showing promise for eye tumors.
