RICHLAND, WA--(Marketwired - Jun 25, 2013) - IsoRay, Inc. (
Aurora BioScience is ideally suited to support IsoRay's products, which utilize the uniqueness of IsoRay's Cs-131 isotope to attack cancers in the prostate and other body sites, such as brain cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer and gyn cancers, while providing patients with a better quality of life than many competing treatments, in Australia and New Zealand. International distributor opportunities aid IsoRay in obtaining increasing recognition in the world marketplace for cancer treatments as more physicians and surgeons internationally are made aware of the power of Cesium through published studies.
IsoRay Chairman and CEO Dwight Babcock commented, "We are very optimistic about the growth in adoption of our expanding array of newly developed products and look to the international market to contribute in the future success of IsoRay. All of our products currently carry the CE Mark, making them eligible to be sold in 31 European nations following any local regulatory approvals and licenses that may be needed for the sale of our products. As we expand our distribution network into other countries, additional regulatory approvals will be required. Physicians and institutions throughout the US are continuing to report outstanding results in the use of our Cs-131 seeds for brain cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancers. Given this growing acceptance and interest, we remain committed to our strategic national and international marketing objectives and believe this will contribute to our long term success."
Aurora BioScience brings a senior management team with extensive experience in the healthcare field along with strengths in business development and radiopharmaceuticals, and a marketing group uniquely focused on neurosurgery and all oncology disciplines. The team at Aurora BioScience has relationships with the key clinicians in every major cancer center in Australia and New Zealand, and therefore we believe Aurora BioScience will be a great partner to advance IsoRay's products within this market once regulatory approvals are received.
