Isoray\u2019s Cesium-131 also delivers a higher \u201cbiological effective dose\u201d or BED compared to I-125 or Pd-103 across a wide range of tumor types. (11)<\/em><\/p>\n

Isoray along with investigators tracking PSA in both single arm and randomized prostate cancer treatment trials have concluded that Cesium-131’s PSA response rates have similar early tumor control to I-125, which was previously considered the gold standard in permanent seed brachytherapy. (8, 12, 13)<\/em><\/p>\n
