>> More effective treatment of extensive forms of cancer
This is a better effectiveness of treatments for all oncological pathologies, including preparations for bone marrow transplants that are now offered to patients.
“Radixact is able to target and irradiate large tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This capacity allows better treatment of extensive cancer cases, especially in hematology and neuro-oncology,” explains doctor Mickaël Andraud, hospitalist.
Thus, new therapeutic options are offered to patients, including the possibility of performing whole-body irradiation in conjunction with hematological irradiations as well as complex irradiations, especially for gynecological and maxillofacial tumors.
>> A reduction in processing time
With its ability to deliver precise therapeutic radiation doses to a large area using a high dose rate, Radixact enables faster treatment sessions, reduces overall treatment time and improves comfort.
“This new equipment provides better patient treatment, faster and more comfortable for them. This technological innovation allows us to offer all our patients a treatment that is perfectly suited to their disease,” explains Professor Cyrus Chargari, Head of Department.
>> A treatment adapted to the patient
With a fully integrated platform for intelligent treatment planning, centralized data processing and ultra-precise treatment delivery, this hardware enables highly personalized treatments. Doctors also design treatment plans tailored to each patient, taking into account the specific characteristics of their tumor and their anatomy.
In addition, the advanced target tracking system provides the ability to adapt the treatment in real time, which is particularly beneficial for moving tumors or patients whose anatomy changes during treatment. So-called “adaptive” treatments will be possible, taking into account tumor regression during treatment.
This approach provides increased precision in treatment delivery, and improves treatment efficiency and safety.
>> Fewer side effects associated with radiotherapy
By allowing more precise irradiation of the anatomical territories where tumors have developed while sparing surrounding healthy tissues and organs, the effectiveness of treatment is maximized while the side effects associated with radiotherapy are reduced. As a result, patients’ quality of life improves during and following treatment.
>> A machine with high precision
Radixact has helical irradiation technology and many other features that allow complex treatments. The commissioning of the machine and each treatment file is processed and analyzed by the medical physics team.
“Before we might use the machine routinely, we carried out a series of tests to guarantee its ability to perform highly complex treatments while meeting our strict quality criteria,” explains Mathilde Croise, medical physicist.
Thanks to its versatility and its ability to treat a wide variety of tumors, this advanced radiotherapy platform offers promising opportunities in oncology.
Radixact expands the indications for radiotherapy, and provides new treatment options for more patients. Very interesting perspectives in radiotherapy oncology with the combination of precision, adaptability and personalization to offer effective treatments that are better tolerated by patients.
