Berlin, June 1, 2010 - The Berlin-based Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und
Medizintechnik AG (ISIN DE0005659700), a firm specializing in medical use
of radioactivity, has gained over its Belgian subsidiary IBt BEBIG
(International Brachytherapy S.A.) a major order in France for the supply
of medical devices for prostate cancer treatment.
During the next three years the specialist in radiation therapy will
deliver miniature implants, typically used to treat early stage prostate
cancer, to specialised hospitals in Angers, Caen, Nice, Strasbourg and
Rouen. The multiple million Euro contract contains also the supply of the
renowned Institut Curie in Paris, where brachytherapy was born. Presumably
more than 1,000 patients will benefit from the low-level radioactive
implants.
The commissioning hospitals are part of Fédération Nationale des Centres de
Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC), a consortium of 20 well-known French
cancer research centers, in which the state activities in the area of
cancer treatment and research are coordinated.
The Eckert & Ziegler Group, with around 520 employees, is one of the
world's largest providers of isotope technology components for radiotherapy
and nuclear medicine.
