Althera Medical

Althera Medical was a private Israeli oncology device company that developed localized radiation-based therapies for cancer. The company focused on DaRT, or Diffusing alpha-emitter radiation therapy, a tumor-directed treatment approach intended to differ from both conventional implantable radiation therapy and external beam radiation. Public company databases describe Althera Medical as a developer of therapeutic devices for various cancers and solid tumors. The business appears to have remained private, small, and unfunded or minimally funded, and is now listed as closed. Its known activity centered on the development of its DaRT treatment approach and associated treatment-planning capabilities for local tumor therapy.
