No patients experienced recurrent disease after a median follow-up of 14.6 months

"We took advantage of the TomoTherapy® System's ability to deliver different radiation doses to very specific areas of the body at the same time to create an optimal treatment plan, providing one dose to accomplish TBI and simultaneously augmenting this with another dose to the sites that needed additional radiation," said Prof. Li, Jing, radiation oncologist and chief at the Helical TomoTherapy Center, Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command. "We were extremely pleased with the results. Using TomoHelical mode we achieved satisfactory immunosuppression, excellent eradication of malignant tumor cells, and individual sparing of organs at high risk of radiation-induced toxicity, enabling us to achieve our clinical objectives."

"The approach to TBI described in these studies is a wonderful example of our customers leveraging the advanced and unique capabilities of the TomoTherapy System to update traditional approaches and offer patients effective treatments with low rates of toxicity, results we would also expect to see with the Radixact® System," said Fabienne Hirigoyenberry-Lanson, PhD, Vice President Global Medical and Scientific Affairs, at Accuray. "I'm thrilled that our customers take our technologies to another level and look forward to partnering with them to further improve the quality of care they give to their patients."
