GT Medical Technologies Now Recognizes Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center
In a significant milestone for advancing brain tumor treatment, GT Medical Technologies proudly announces that Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center has been designated as the latest GammaTile® Center of Excellence. This designation is part of a program aimed at honoring exceptional healthcare professionals who demonstrate outstanding leadership in patient education and clinical skills associated with the GammaTile procedure.
Dr. Ganesh Rao, who is the Physician Lead for the Neuroscience Service Line at Baylor St. Luke's and a Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, stated, “Achieving designation as a GammaTile Center of Excellence highlights our team's dedication to bringing innovative treatment options to patients with operable brain tumors.” Dr. Rao emphasized that with GammaTile's technology, they are able to deliver targeted radiation precisely where it’s needed during surgery, significantly reducing exposure to healthy tissues.
What is GammaTile?
GammaTile is an FDA-cleared medical innovation that offers a different approach to treating brain tumors. It involves a bioabsorbable collagen implant embedded with radiation seeds, which is placed directly into the surgical cavity during tumor removal. By targeting remaining cancer cells immediately when they are at their most vulnerable, GammaTile aims to maximize treatment efficacy and minimize the chances of tumor regrowth.
Advantages of the GammaTile Procedure
The key benefit of the GammaTile approach is its immediate delivery of radiation therapy right at the tumor site, eliminating the traditional delays often experienced between surgery and radiation therapy. This innovation not only accelerates the healing process but also ensures that patients receive effective treatment right when they need it, improving overall outcomes.
Since its market introduction in March 2020, GammaTile has been embraced by over 100 prominent medical centers, signifying its growing acceptance in treating brain tumors effectively.
