MammoSite® Radiation Therapy System (RTS) is a minimally invasive method of delivering radiation therapy to breast cancer patients who have recently undergone a lumpectomy. The MammoSite system delivers radiation directly to the original tumor site where cancer is most likely to recur while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. This innovative system delivers a full course of targeted radiation in just five days (versus six or seven weeks of conventional radiation therapy).
