Medical isotope developer IsoRay Medical said that it has shipped a set of cesium-131 brachytherapy seeds to a Canadian customer as part of a research initiative.
The seeds will be used for research and development of cesium-131 in Canada, according to the Richland, WA-based firm. Cesium-131 is currently approved by Health Canada only for the treatment of low-risk prostate cancers, and IsoRay aims to gather clinical evidence to support clearance for a wide variety of malignant disease locations.
