Nominee: GT Medical Technologies’ GammaTile
“By getting a head STaRT on fighting the tumor, resection plus GammaTile Therapy can extend local recurrence-free survival with minimal complications, reduced patient burden, and assured compliance,” the company said.
GT Medical was formed by IsoRay and the Barrow Neurological Institute to develop the GammaTile technology using Cesium-131 radiation seeds embedded in a collagen tile designed to be placed in surgical margins at the time of surgery. (An interesting note about IsoRay is that its Richland, Washington, headquarters is near the historic Hanford site, established to manufacture plutonium for the Manhattan Project.)
IsoRaywon FDA 510(k) clearance for the GammaTile technology in 2018.
