Global Gold-198 Seeds Source Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

In 2024, global Gold-198 Seeds Source production reached approximately 8.08 k units, with an average global market price of around US$ 52 per unit.

Gold-198 seeds are used in permanent seed implant therapy involving injecting approximately 30-100 radioactive seeds into the prostate gland. They give off their radiation at a low dose rate over several weeks, and then the seeds can remain in the prostate gland permanently. Brachytherapy can be used for a wide range of prostate stages, PSA values, and tumor grades. The components and dosages are modified for those with low, intermediate, or high risk prostate cancer. This treatment can also be used for many tumors which are considered too advanced for radical prostatectomy. As long as there is no obvious spread to distant areas of the body, like the bones, this treatment may be considered. For early stages, treatment may be an alternative to the radical prostatectomy, but with less side effects.

Gold-198 seed sources are primarily used in brachytherapy, particularly in cancer treatment.

High doses are delivered directly to the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Their short half-life allows for rapid decay of radioactivity after treatment, reducing long-term radiation risks. They are implanted via catheter or puncture, minimizing surgical trauma.

Gold-198 sealed seed sources remain an effective treatment for localized tumors such as liver and prostate cancer. Future advancements in radiotherapy technology are expected to lead to even more precise applications. Despite facing competition from newer radionuclides, their short half-life and high dose advantages are expected to maintain stable market demand.
