Pyrexar will be exhibiting at this year's ABS (American Brachytherapy Society) annual meeting in Miami, Florida. The conference held at the Intercontinental Miami hotel, June 13th through the 15th.
This is our first time exhibiting at the conference, and we believe we have a compelling solution to offer. HDR (high dose rate) brachytherapy and hyperthermia share some of the same market challenges. The bottom line is that brachytherapy plus hyperthermia improve cancer patient outcomes.
Like hyperthermia, brachytherapy is a sub-specialty that requires a specific skill set to treat patients. And like hyperthermia, brachytherapy is known to produce increased tumor control without an increase in toxicity. Product planning for hyperthermia is very similar, and the system utilizes the existing brachy catheters placed during HDR.
Dr. Ruediger Wessalowski awarded the prestigious J. Eugene Robinson Award. The J. Eugene Robinson Award is presented each year to an investigator who has made outstanding contributions to hyperthermic oncology. Dr. Wessalowski practices at the Clinic for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and Clinical Oncology at the 
Chris Diederich, Ph.D., was honored with the George M. Hahn Award. The George M. Hahn Award is presented every other year to an investigator whose research has contributed in a significant way to new clinical applications in thermal therapy. Professor Diederich is the Director of Clinical Hyperthermia Physics and Thermal Therapy Research at the University of California, San Francisco. The Pyrexar BSD-500 and BSD-2000 hyperthermia systems are in practice at the
