Can any breast cancer patient be treated with the MammoSite RTS?
The MammoSite RTS is cleared to internally administer the prescribed dose of radiation to a targeted breast tissue area. Safety and performance of the device for internal delivery of radiation to targeted breast tissue were demonstrated in a multi-center study, which involved women with early-stage breast cancer. The safety and effectiveness of the MammoSite RTS as a replacement for whole breast irradiation in the treatment of breast cancer has not been established. The use of MammoSite RTS is subject to physicians’ clinical judgment in consultation with their patients.
