Non-radiation / Mammosite

Traditional external beam radiation therapy for breast cancer can span a period of five to seven weeks. That length of treatment time makes it tough for some patients to undergo radiation. There may be a more convenient alternative.

There are other methods of radiation that, for some patients, can decrease the time involved and make radiation a lot more manageable.

Dr. James Vopal, at the Breast Care Center of the Treasure Coast in Stuart, offers breast cancer patients a unique type of radiation called MammoSite.
