Big things sometimes come in small packages. For Sirtex Medical, big things come in a really small package.
The Australian medical device company’s flagship product – the SIR-sphere – is made up of 30 million to 60 million microspheres about the size of a grain of sand, which are injected into the hepatic artery and flow into the liver where they kill tumors from the inside. The product is currently indicated for patients with Stage IV colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
