Modern Brachytherapy Starts Here.
Not all brachytherapy radioisotopes are the same. Cesium Blu, Cs-131, offers you a powerful option for treating prostate and other cancers throughout the body.
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a higher energy allowing for a more uniform dose distribution with less overdosing than other permanent isotopes. (1)
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a shorter half-life than other commonly used isotopes for the treatment of cancer throughout the body, resulting in a shorter duration of radiation which contributes to a rapid resolution of patient side effects. (2)
Isoray’s Cesium Blu proprietary permanent prostate cancer brachytherapy seeds allow for better dose homogeneity and the sparing of the urethra and rectum while providing comparable prostate coverage compared to other seeds with comparable or fewer seeds and needles. (3, 4, 5, 6)
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a shorter half-life than other commonly used isotopes for the treatment of cancer throughout the body, resulting in a shorter duration of radiation which contributes to a rapid resolution of patient side effects. (7, 8, 9, 10)
Isoray’s Cesium Blu also delivers a higher “biological effective dose” or BED compared to I-125 or Pd-103 across a wide range of tumor types. (11)
Isoray along with investigators tracking PSA in both single arm and randomized prostate cancer treatment trials have concluded that Cesium Blu’s PSA response rates have similar early tumor control to I-125, which was previously considered the gold standard in permanent seed brachytherapy.
