Exhibit 99.1


  Theragenics(R) Reports Revenue and Earnings for Third Quarter 2007

               Company Reports Record Quarterly Revenue


    BUFORD, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2007--Theragenics
Corporation(R) (NYSE: TGX), a medical device company serving the
prostate cancer treatment and surgical products markets, today
announced consolidated financial results for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2007. Consolidated revenue for the
quarter was $16.0 million compared to $14.3 million in the third
quarter of 2006, an increase of 12%. For the nine-month period,
consolidated revenue was $47.0 million, compared to $39.3 million in
the 2006 period, an increase of 20%. Net income for the quarter was
$1.8 million, or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net
income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis in the
third quarter of 2006. For the nine-month period, net income was $4.5
million, or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income
of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per share on a diluted basis in 2006.
Results for the 2006 periods include the results of Galt Medical from
August 2, 2006, the date Galt was acquired by Theragenics.

    In the 2006 periods, an income tax benefit that resulted from the
release of a portion of the allowance for deferred income tax assets
was recognized. This benefit was $1.0 million in the third quarter of
2006 and $1.4 million in the nine-month period of 2006. This benefit
significantly reduced the effective income tax rates for those periods
and increased earnings per share by $0.03 in the third quarter of 2006
and $0.04 in the nine-month period of 2006. The 2007 periods are
reported as being fully taxed at normal rates. Other items affecting
comparability between the periods include a one-time license fee of
$400,000 recognized and included in revenue and net income in the 2006
periods related to the Company's licensed TheraSphere(R) technology,
and $170,000 of net restructuring related expenses included in the
2006 year to date period. The 2007 year to date period includes
$309,000 of one-time interest income received in connection with a
federal income tax refund.

    "Our diversification strategy continues to deliver strong results
as we posted another quarter of record revenue," stated M. Christine
Jacobs, Chairman & CEO. "Nearly half of third quarter revenue was
generated by our surgical products business, and both our
brachytherapy and surgical products businesses contributed to
profitability."

    Ms. Jacobs continued, "Our surgical products business has
demonstrated its ability to grow. Going forward we want to continue to
invest in opportunities for organic growth in this business. We also
plan to maintain our leadership position within the brachytherapy
industry, and take advantage of longer term opportunities in what is a
difficult industry environment. Finally, we expect to continue our
diversification and growth via acquisition."

    In conclusion, Ms. Jacobs stated, "Our current strategy has
delivered impressive results in a relatively short period of time.
Given the performance of our two business segments and our newly
diversified portfolio of products, our choices and future prospects
are numerous."

    This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures used by
Management in its analysis of the Company's operating performance. The
Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management
believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the
business may provide users of this financial information additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior
operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying
trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical
information that excludes certain items that impact the overall
comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures
in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in
evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures
should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the
Company's reported GAAP results.

    This press release contains forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
accuracy of which is necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties,
including, without limitation, statements regarding future growth,
opportunities and investments, and anticipated positive results in
general. Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of
factors, including, among other things, uncertainties related to the
integration of acquired companies into the Theragenics organization,
capitalization on opportunities for growth within the Surgical
Products business, ability to recognize value from areas of shared
expertise, risks and uncertainties related to competition within the
medical device industry, development and growth of new applications
within the markets for brachytherapy, wound closure, and vascular
access and, more broadly, medical devices, competition from other
companies within the brachytherapy, wound closure, vascular access and
medical device markets, competition from other methods of treatment,
new product development cycles, effectiveness and execution of
marketing and sales programs, changes in product pricing, changes in
costs of materials used in production processes, continued acceptance
and demand of the Company's products by the markets in which it
operates, introduction and/or availability of competitive products by
others, potential changes in third-party (including CMS)
reimbursement, physician training, third-party distribution
agreements, ability to execute on acquisition opportunities on
favorable terms and successfully integrate any acquisitions, and other
factors set forth from time to time in the Company's Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.

    All forward looking statements and cautionary statements included
in this document are made as of the date hereby based on information
available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company

 future periods. The Company has adjusted the total revenue as
 determined under U.S. GAAP by this amount in order to provide a more
 meaningful comparison between the periods presented.

PRO FORMA REVENUE BY SEGMENT
(Unaudited)
(In thousands)

The following unaudited pro forma summary combines the Company's
 revenue with that of Galt as if the August 2006 acquisition had
 occurred at the beginning of the calendar year of the period
 presented. An adjustment has also been made for certain non recurring
 revenue in 2006 in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of
 revenue between the periods presented. This unaudited pro forma
 information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the
 Company's consolidated results of operations or financial condition
 that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as
 of the beginning of the calendar year presented, and should not be
 taken as indicative of the Company's future consolidated results of
 operations or financial condition.
