GammaTile Therapy is FDA-cleared to treat patients with newly diagnosed malignant brain tumors and patients with recurrent brain tumors. GammaTiles are bioresorbable collagen tiles embedded with radiation sources that start delivering immediately after tumor removal surgery, thereby preventing delays that can arise with traditional external beam radiation therapy.

Together, we will help raise awareness of GammaTile Therapy so that more patients with operable brain tumors can benefit from this innovative emerging standard of care,” said Jane Steen, the newly appointed VP of Marketing. “Joining this mission-driven leadership team is an exciting opportunity to contribute my strategic commercialization skills while returning to my passion for helping neurosurgical patients. I look forward to collaborating with clinicians to promote GammaTile Therapy adoption and enable broader access to care.”
