"IsoRay's sales improved in the third quarter with revenue increasing 7% from the same period last year and 24% from the previous quarter. The revenue increase was driven by the more aggressive sales and marketing strategy we introduced earlier in the fiscal year that positions IsoRay and Cesium-131 as a leader in brachytherapy for prostate cancer treatment. This turnaround also underscores the quality of our recently expanded sales force, which is comprised of highly experienced brachytherapy sales people, most of whom are new to IsoRay. Combined with our renewed commitment to the prostate brachytherapy community, our message is gaining traction as our client roster has expanded with both new and returning accounts," said Thomas LaVoy, chairman and chief executive officer.
