IsoRay Inc Selects Allen & Caron
For Investor Relations and Corporate Communications
Richland, WA (November 26, 2007) … IsoRay Inc (Amex: ISR), a leading-edge developer and provider of brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer and other solid tumors, announced it has selected Allen & Caron, Inc., with offices in New York City, Irvine CA and London, as its agency for investor relations and corporate communications.
Chairman, CEO and President Roger Girard commented, “IsoRay has reached a point at which it is important for us to engage a larger portion of the investment community, and to broaden awareness of our proprietary Cesium-131 technology and our impressively successful clinicals. In order to do that we have consulted with experts on Wall Street, and have surveyed the investor relations companies that seem appropriate for a company at our size and our stage of development. We believe that Allen & Caron, which has been active in the small-cap arena for nearly 30 years, has the skills and the reputation we need to create a wider audience. We look forward to working with them.”
Allen & Caron Chairman and CEO Joseph Allen said, “Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies, afflicting a very large percentage of men worldwide. The percentage of men undergoing surgical procedures can, we believe, be much diminished by IsoRay’s Cesium-131 brachytherapy, with a remarkably short half-life and a very convincing record of success in putting prostate cancer patients into remission. We believe that when the investment community meets IsoRay, they will concur with us that it is at a flexion point where value and growth coincide, creating a compelling investment thesis.”

About IsoRay
IsoRay, Inc., through its subsidiary, IsoRay Medical, Inc., is the sole producer of the Cesium-131 brachytherapy seed, used to treat prostate and other cancers. The Cesium-131 seed offers a significantly shorter half-life than the two other isotopes commonly used for brachytherapy, which results in a substantially faster delivery of therapeutic radiation, lower probability of cancer cell survival and reduction of the longevity of common brachytherapy side effects(a)(b). IsoRay is based in Richland, Washington. More information is available about IsoRay at www.isoray.com.
