MUNICH - EntSun -- Garching n. Munich, Germany and Lucas Heights, NSW, Australia – OncoBeta® GmbH, a commercial stage medical device company specialized in innovative epidermal radioisotope therapies is pleased to announce that it has formalized it's manufacturing partnership with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO).

Nicholas H. Vetter, Chief Operating Officer at OncoBeta® GmbH and CEO of OncoBeta International GmbH stated: "This is a huge step forwards for our organization. We are very excited to bring our technology to Australia and ANSTO is a key partner of ours in the goal of helping thousands of Australians afflicted with non-melanoma skin cancer."

About the Rhenium-SCT® (Skin Cancer Therapy)

The Rhenium-SCT® is a non-invasive, painless therapy generally providing for unparalleled aesthetic results, even in cases otherwise considered difficult to treat. The Rhenium-SCT® utilizes the radioisotope Rhenium-188 in an epidermal application with optimal properties for the treatment of NMSCs (non-melanoma skin cancers). Due to the specially designed devices and accessories the Rhenium-SCT® compound never comes in direct contact with the patients' skin and the application is safe and simple for the applying physician. Most cases of non-melanoma skin cancers (Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carcinomas) can be treated using the Rhenium-SCT® with a single application, applied in one single session. Scar-free healing of the treated lesion area and the regeneration of healthy tissue occurs usually within a few weeks after treatment.
