ABSTRACT:
An implantable cancer therapy device includes adjacent segments of a radioactive therapeutic and an adjunctive therapeutic. The segments of radioactive therapeutic and adjunctive therapeutic can be alternatively disposed in a predetermined spatial array. The implantation can be permanent or temporary. The device can be a substantially cylindrical filament or plurality of spaced radioactive seed overlaid with an adjunctive therapeutic. The device can also be a monofilament comprising an adjunctive therapeutic, the monofilament having spaced depressions for indicating length and facilitating cutting.
