What is it indicated for?
interSource® implants are indicated for interstitial implantation of select localized tumors with low to moderate radiosensitivity. They are used either as primary treatment for tumors such as those of the head, lung, neck, pancreas, prostate, and unresectable tumors, or for residual disease after excision of the primary tumor. interSource® implants are indicated for use concurrent with or at the completion of other treatment modalities, such as external beam radiation therapy.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
