Elekta (EKTA-B.ST) announces that GenesisCare will acquire Versa HD™ (http://www.elekta.com/versahd) linear accelerators to help fulfil its ambition to improve cancer care for patients in Spain. The deal also includes Elekta’s MOSAIQ® (https://www.elekta.com/mosaiq) oncology information system to optimize the clinical care and operational efficiency of GenesisCare in Spain.
Francois Pointurier, Elekta’s Senior Vice President Region EMEA, says: “Although we have seen an increase in the incidence of cancer in Spain, the number of cancer deaths has fallen, thanks in part to improved treatment using advanced radiation therapy devices. We are proud to continue to partner with GenesisCare as they expand in Spain and grow in the European market. GenesisCare will receive the most advanced and recognized cancer treatment solutions on the market. We look forward to providing the platforms to support GenesisCare’s vision to provide accurate, efficient and high quality treatment.”
Following the recent acquisition of oncology groups, IMOncology and Oncosur, GenesisCare is now the largest cancer care provider in Spain.
