Why brachytherapy?<\/h1>\n

Not all brachytherapy radioisotopes are the same. Cesium-131 offers you a powerful option for treating prostate and other cancers throughout the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.0.9″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.0.9″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Brachytherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that places radiation directly inside the tumor, or at the surgical margin allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered to the target region, while limiting dose to surrounding, critical structures. Cesium-131 seeds are the size of a grain of rice and release a personalized radiation dose over a period of days. This allows effective treatment while minimizing damage to nearby tissue, and thereby limiting side effects.<\/p>\n
