According to Per Langoe, CEO of GT Medical Technologies, “We are thrilled to announce USC Brain Tumor Center as the first GammaTile Center of Excellence. Their dedication to improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by brain tumors is commendable.” This partnership aims to further advance patient care protocols and enhance treatment strategies for brain tumors through shared expertise and innovative solutions.

The GammaTile Technology

At the heart of the program is GammaTile, a revolutionary form of radiation therapy that is applied directly at the time of tumor removal surgery. Unlike traditional methods, which typically necessitate a waiting period for patients to heal before starting radiation, GammaTile allows for immediate, localized radiation treatment at the tumor site. By delivering treatment during surgery, GammaTile targets cancer cells when they are in their most vulnerable state, thereby maximizing therapeutic effectiveness and reducing the chance of tumor regrowth.

Dr. Eric Lin Chang of USC emphasized the significance of this innovation, stating, “Being recognized as a GammaTile Center of Excellence reflects our commitment to advancing care for operable brain tumor patients. GammaTile enables us to deliver immediate, localized radiation while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues, thereby enhancing patient safety and treatment outcomes.”

The Future of Brain Tumor Management

Since its introduction to the market in March 2020, GammaTile has rapidly gained traction, being utilized by over 100 leading healthcare facilities across the United States. This growing acceptance illustrates a shift towards novel treatment approaches that prioritize patient welfare and clinical efficiency. As discussions around brain tumor care continue to evolve, initiatives like the Center of Excellence Program are vital for fostering a collaborative environment that not only emphasizes education and patient care but also inspires future innovations in oncology.

GT Medical Technologies, founded by a team of dedicated specialists, aims to tackle the pressing needs of brain tumor treatment by developing state-of-the-art solutions that elevate the standard of care. This commitment aligns with its mission to offer hope and improved quality of life to patients battling brain tumors.
