University of California San Diego and John Muir Medical Center Initiated Treating Patients for Colon and Lung Cancer Utilizing IsoRay's Cesium-131 Seeded Mesh
9:15a ET December 19, 2013 (Market Wire)
IsoRay Inc. (NYSE MKT: ISR) (www.isoray.com), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy and medical radioisotope applications, today announced it has two new medical centers using its sutured seeds in mesh to treat colon and lung cancers.
IsoRay CEO Dwight Babcock noted, "We are extremely encouraged by the number of new facilities taking notice of the successes achieved by other major cancer centers when Cesium-131 is made available to their patients. We are excited to have the University of California and John Muir Medical Center as our newest thought leaders utilizing Cesium-131 products for newly diagnosed and recurrent cancers where other treatments have previously failed. Currently all of our studies in multiple medical centers are performing well with positive results in treating brain cancers, meningioma tumors, pelvic wall, lung cancer, colon cancer, gynecologic cancer and prostate cancer with our Cesium-131 product line. We are making a difference in thousands of lives by providing new ideas and solutions in the battle against cancer and we believe Cesium-131 is the isotope of the future."
IsoRay's Cesium-131 sutured seeds, stranded mesh and the GliaSite(R) radiation therapy system each give physicians the ability to directly place a specified dosage of radiation in areas where cancer is most likely to remain after completion of brain tumor removal. The ability to precisely place a specified dose of radiation means there is less likelihood for damage to occur to healthy brain and lung tissue as well as critical structures compared to other alternative treatments. IsoRay's cancer fighting products reduce the ability of the tumor to recur, which means important benefits for patients in longevity as well as quality of life.
IsoRay is the exclusive manufacturer of Cesium-131. Cesium-131 is the first new isotope to be available in seed form for brachytherapy in approximately 20 years. Cesium-131 allows for the precise treatment of many different cancers because of its unrivaled blend of high energy and its 9.7 day half-life (its unequaled speed in giving off therapeutic radiation).
