UW Health offers new targeted radiation technology for brain tumors

UW Health said Tuesday it is one of the first health systems in Wisconsin to offer a new technology that delivers targeted radiation therapy to brain tumor cavities after the tumor has been removed.

UW surgeons will use GammaTile, a new technology developed by GT Medical Technologies, for certain types of brain tumors. It consists of a small implant with absorbable collagen tiles that contain radioactive cesium-131 seeds.
