The Innovation of GammaTile
GammaTile, a groundbreaking approach to radiation therapy, is administered during tumor removal surgeries. Unlike traditional methods that often cause delays in treatment for patients while waiting for wounds to heal, GammaTile allows for immediate, targeted radiation delivery directly to the tumor site. This is crucial because it attacks cancer cells when they are most vulnerable, thereby enhancing the efficacy of treatment and reducing the likelihood of cancer regrowth.
Since its introduction to the market in March 2020, GammaTile has been implemented in over 100 leading medical centers across the nation, highlighting its increasing acceptance among both academic and community healthcare providers.
