About Core Oncology

Core Oncology was founded September 15, 2006 by the existing management of the brachytherapy business owned by Coloplast, formerly Mentor, for the sole purpose of enhancing the levels of service and continuing our pursuit of innovation within the field of Radiation Oncology. Our philosophy is to make our Customers and their trusted patients the focus of our business. Meeting their needs is our primary goal. This is how we derived our name Core Oncology, as our Customers and Patients are our center, our focus, our core.

On June 8, 2007, Core Oncology completed its acquisition of Mills Biopharmaceuticals LLC, the recently acquired brachytherapy division of Coloplast. Prior to this, the brachytherapy division was owned by Mentor Corporation. Initially formed in 1997, Mentor’s brachytherapy division entered the radiation oncology market as the first company to offer both iodine and palladium brachytherapy sources. Since then the division has developed and successfully launched numerous innovative delivery technologies and services, including the Isoloader® workstation, prescription loaded needle services and proprietary cartridge systems for the Mick® applicator. This division has maintained a track record of strong year-on-year growth in a highly competitive market space.

The management team that has facilitated the growth and development of the brachytherapy division is the same team that now manages Core Oncology. This team has remained intact from the beginning of the business. We pride ourselves on the culture that we have established and the employee retention that has resulted.

Our goal is to streamline how you do business with our company. To accomplish this we have implemented state-of-the-art systems that will allow us to process orders more efficiently, communicate more effectively and ultimately make your life easier. Our objective is to provide you, our customer, with the industry best service and products and exceed your expectations every time.
