Top medical centers, hospitals and clinics across the United States are now offering this breakthrough treatment for cancer patients.<\/p>\n<p>The word brachytherapy derives from the Greek prefix brachy, meaning \u201cshort\u201d or \u201cclose,\u201d because the titanium capsules containing the radioisotope are implanted directly into the cancerous prostate gland.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment of cancer using low dose radiation or \u201cseed\u201d brachytherapy was pioneered in the 1960\u2019s as an effective alternative to radical prostatectomy. Pioneers in brachytherapy research initially theorized about the use of Cesium-131 in a titanium capsule, however scientific and economic limitations at the time prevented its development and Iodine-125 emerged as an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in 1967, Iodine-125 became the first radioisotope manufactured in a titanium capsule, or seed. While its use continues to this day, many patients and doctors in recent years have chosen Palladium-103, a faster-acting, shorter half-life isotope than Iodine-125. In order to obtain the clinical benefits of Palladium\u2019s short half-life, patients and clinicians were forced to settle for lower energy or tissue penetrating power.<\/p>\n<p>A team of scientists continued to believe the physical characteristics of Cesium-131* could potentially provide superior clinical benefits for seed brachytherapy patients. The team developed the patented process for economically separating and purifying Cesium-131 and in 1998 Isoray was founded to manufacture and commercialize Cesium-131 brachytherapy seeds to treat cancers.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>1958<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 proposed as an isotope for cancer treatment<\/p>\n<h4>1967<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 seed design is patented<\/p>\n<h4>1998<\/h4>\n<p>Isoray Medical founded to explore the medical use of Cesium-131<\/p>\n<h4>2003<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 was cleared by FDA for treatment of cancer<\/p>\n<h4>2004<\/h4>\n<p>The \ufb01rst patient was implanted with\u00a0IsoRay Cs-131 seeds<\/p>\n<h4>2009<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 used for the treatment of a Head &amp; Neck cancer<\/p>\n<h4>2009<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 used for the treatment of\u00a0Lung cancer<\/p>\n<h4>2010<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 used for the treatment of a gynecological cancer<\/p>\n<h4>2010<\/h4>\n<p>Cesium-131 used for the treatment of a brain tumor<\/p>\n<h4>2013<\/h4>\n<p>Five year data with Cesium-131 is published establishing the treatment as a viable alternate for prostate cancer treatment<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/isoray.flywheelstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Awareness-Couple.jpg&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;88px||98px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||182px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; background_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; parallax_tablet=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_phone=&#8221;off&#8221; background_size_phone=&#8221;cover&#8221; background_position_tablet=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; background_position_phone=&#8221;top_center&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243; width=&#8221;74%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-4px|auto||auto|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;28px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||13%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||0%||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Source Serif Pro||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||-3px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;] Brachytherapy is an effective, patient-centric alternative for cancer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6745,"parent":95,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-226","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
