Brachytherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of radioactive seeds the size of rice grains. Brachytherapy, an out-patient procedure, usually takes only 45 minutes to an hour to perform. Most patients can return to their normal activities within days. The success rates of prostate brachytherapy have compared favorably with success rates of radical prostatectomy and external beam radiation. In comparison studies, prostate brachytherapy has shown to have a favorable side effect profile when compared with other modalities. A recent clinical study conducted by Schiffler Cancer following patients 5 years post brachytherapy treatment found 94% of 512 patients were cancer-free.
BrachySciences is a newly formed organization that is dedicated to improving and expanding the use of brachytherapy implants for the treatment of early stage prostate cancer. BrachySciences markets, sells and distributes radioactive seeds as well as unique delivery systems and ancillary equipment used in brachytherapy implants. BrachySciences is committed to optimizing the quality and efficiency of prostate brachytherapy implants by providing state of the art, quality brachytherapy products, and innovative technologies and services to the physicians and institutions that treat patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.
