It’s hard to believe that breast cancer treatment can come in the form of a tiny seed…something just a quarter of the size of a grain of rice.

But that’s what Mammosite® therapy delivers—precisely targeted radiation treatments from a radioactive seed that’s placed within the breast. It actually attacks cancer from inside the body.

Mammosite® therapy is the preferred treatment regime that Dr. Dan Cornell prescribes for his patients who are candidates, because the benefits are substantial. Traditional radiation therapy is delivered through healthy tissue, but Mammosite® therapy is localized to only those tissues that need treatment. As a result, the patient suffers fewer side effects.

In addition, Mammosite® therapy is done on an outpatient basis and takes just five days, compared to a five- or six-week course of treatment with traditional radiation therapy.

This amazing technology is available at the John R. Marsh Cancer Center.
