Patient-Centered Brachytherapy Solutions

With high energy and a short half-life, Cesium-131 effectively treats many types of cancers from the inside out.

Brachytherapy with Cesium-131: Proven Personalized Precise.

Cancer care teams work hard to provide the highest-quality patient-centered care possible. Isoray shares your mission, providing brachytherapy products designed to help treat prostate and other cancers. 1

We believe that radiation should spare healthy tissues and be delivered from the inside out. We also believe in a targeted personalized approach to treating each patient’s cancer.

Our groundbreaking brachytherapy isotope, Cesium-131, combines high energy with a short half-life. This allows radiation to leave the body quickly after delivering its therapeutic dose. Patients can get back to their daily activities while receiving highly targeted therapy.2

Cesium-131 is a preferred treatment for prostate cancer among physicians looking for broad coverage and potentially fewer urinary tract symptoms.2 Research is also mounting for its effectiveness in treating brain tumors, head and neck cancers, and other aggressive and recurrent tumors.

In addition to providing effective, precise prostate cancer treatment, leading cancer institutions have approached us to discuss combination therapies using Cesium-131 to treat complex cancers. Notable clinical trials include:

  • The first brachytherapy PD-1 inhibitor combination study in recurrent head and neck cancer combining Cesium-131 with Keytruda (pembrolizumab).5
  • A study that combines Cesium-131 with Opdivo (nivolumab) to treat metastatic melanoma.

Over the past 15 years, researchers have published notable favorable outcomes for patients treated with Cesium-131. A few highlights include:

[/dsm_card]

  • \Ten-year biochemical freedom from disease of 95.3% for low-risk cancers and 90.1% for intermediate-risk cancers.2
  • \Return to pre-treatment urinary and bowel scores within 3 to 6 months.1
  • \5.5-year maintenance of baseline quality of life measures, suggesting durable long-term tolerability.1
  • \Cesium-131 brachytherapy combined with surgery demonstrated acceptable safety and compelling outcomes in patients with recurrent head and neck cancers.3
  • \Multiple studies have shown the safety and effectiveness of Cesium-131 a treatment for a variety of brain cancers.4
