“We're proud to be a GammaTile provider and now a designated Center of Excellence at Franciscan Health,” said Kushal J. Shah, a neurosurgeon at Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine. “This recognition reflects our commitment to offering cutting-edge treatment options that can make a real difference for patients. GammaTile delivers targeted radiation directly to the site of the tumor immediately after surgical removal, helping to improve outcomes by reducing recurrences in the treatment of brain tumors.”
GammaTile is an innovative form of radiation therapy placed at the time of tumor removal surgery, delivering immediate, targeted radiation to the tumor site when cancer cells are at their lowest levels. Unlike conventional approaches, which often require a delay between surgery and radiation therapy to allow for wound healing, GammaTile eliminates this treatment gap. By delivering immediate, localized radiation directly at the tumor site, it is designed to maximize the treatment's effectiveness against remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of regrowth.1
