We’re proud to be the first in the region to offer GammaTile therapy—an innovative new option for patients with brain tumors. The treatment involves placing a small collagen implant during surgery that delivers targeted radiation directly to the tumor site. This approach helps protect healthy brain tissue, reduce side effects like hair loss, and eliminate the need for multiple radiation sessions. Learn more about how this breakthrough therapy is transforming care for our patients at the link in the first comment.
