CHICAGO, October 29, 2021 – Elekta (EKTA-B.ST) today announced the presentation of new award-winning abstracts supporting the many benefits of Elekta Unity in treating cancer patients using precision radiation therapy. The abstracts add to the growing body of data manifesting Elekta Unity’s unique capabilities, to the benefit of patients around the world.
The system is highly appreciated by leading clinics around the world and, as of today, Elekta has sold more than 100 Elekta Unity systems.
Lionel Hadjadjeba, President MR-Linac Solutions, said: “In Unity, we have developed a system that is truly ground-breaking. We believe Unity offers the best opportunity for clinicians to create new treatment paradigms and make a difference to the patient. The abstracts presented at ASTRO confirm this – Unity enables clinicians to see the difference and enable opportunities for better patient outcomes.”

The abstracts were presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting. In total, 22 new abstracts were presented supporting the differentiated technical capabilities of MR-guided radiation therapy with Elekta Unity. Three of them received awards.
“Elekta’s aim is to ensure that all patients have access to the best cancer care possible, and Elekta Unity is very important in this fulfilling this mission,” said Dr. John Christodouleas, Elekta’s Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs and Clinical Research. “Elekta Unity is at its core an information-generating linear accelerator, one that gives clinicians information about anatomy, dose and biology. This information can be used to improve the precision of radiotherapy and optimize the online adaptive workflow. The science presented at ASTRO underscore the power of the Elekta Unity to generate information to achieve these critical goals.”
The award-winning abstracts include two that received Basic/Translational Science Abstract Awards and were selected from nearly 2,000 submissions. One received an ASTRO Recognition Award.
Dr. Christodouleas added: “It is gratifying to see that three abstracts from our research collaborators were identified for special recognition for their importance and quality. These abstracts show how MRI can be used to track tumor and anatomic motion in real time, determine when online adaptive replanning is needed, and facilitate efficient and accurate treatment planning. Of course, we are still just scratching the surface and I look forward to seeing how our community revolutionizes care, leveraging the unparalleled insights that high-field MR can bring to the online setting.”
