TARGETING NEW CANCER SOLUTIONS
No patient should be denied the cancer care they need simply because some options are in short supply or unavailable. Yet, all too often, this is what happens.
At the core of many oncology therapies are radioisotopes. However, increasingly limited supply inhibits patient outcomes and the development of new therapies.
Innovation
Advancements with radioisotopes
Nusano is combining time-proven technology from universities and world-class research centers with our own breakthrough, patented particle acceleration technology. The result is the first significant advancement in medical radioisotope production in decades – a platform fitting the needs of today and designed for cancer-fighting radiopharmaceuticals of tomorrow.
Inspiration
Life Saving Benefits
Health care has used radioisotopes for decades. But, if supply does not keep up with demand, patients will lose out on the benefits of these lifesaving, proven tools.
Implications
a healthy tomorrow
Nusano’s patented technologies and methods are poised to transform radioisotope production and usher in an exciting new era in cancer care. When it opens, our state-of-the-art facility in West Valley City, Utah will produce radioisotopes quickly, efficiently, and affordably. This will make desperately needed resources available to hospitals and cancer clinics around the world and offer those with life-threatening diseases hope for a healthier tomorrow.
