Brachytherapy device developer Xoft said that its Axxent electronic brachytherapy system has been used to treat early stage breast cancer at WellStar Kennestone Hospital and The Breast Center in Marietta, GA.
The institution is the first medical center in the world to use an Axxent system, according to the Fremont, CA-based vendor. The unit employs a miniaturized x-ray source to deliver localized and targeted radiation treatment, Xoft said.
