About
This biodegradable rod delivers localised Holmium-166 radiation directly into solid tumours while enabling real-time imaging. It retains over 99% of its activity for 200+ hours and shows strong cytotoxicity in liver cancer cells, with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Made from polycaprolactone and globally accessible isotopes, it avoids surgical removal, lowers systemic toxicity, and reduces healthcare burden. Offering a safer, more scalable approach, this technology modernises cancer care through targeted, minimally invasive radiotherapy
