MammoSite
Radiation Therapy System
Medcenter
One, in partnership with the Bismarck Cancer Center,
now offers a new FDA-approved treatment method for breast
cancer.
The
MammoSite Radiation Therapy System (RTS) provides women
the option of choosing a lumpectomy (surgery to remove
the tumor) – instead of a mastectomy (surgery to
remove the breast) – coupled with a targeted dose
of radiation that is completed in five days instead
of the traditional six to seven weeks. By internally
delivering radiation directly to the tissue surrounding
the original tumor  ,
the MammoSite RTS also minimizes radiation exposure
to healthy tissue.
For
more information, call Medcenter One at 323-5300.
