Gevorg Tamamyan, Editor-in-Chief of OncoDaily, President of SIOP Asia and POEM Group, shared CancerWorld’s post on LinkedIn, adding։
“A man who built a history! The man behind the Elekta!
Laurent Leksell, thanks for the great interview and for the life lessons!”
Quoting CancerWorld’s post:
“Great companies rarely begin the way we imagine.
Not with certainty.
Not with a master plan.
And sometimes-not even with the intention of building a company at all.
In this remarkable conversation, Laurent Leksell reflects on the journey that transformed a small family business into Elekta, one of the companies that helped redefine modern radiation oncology.
It is a story of a father’s unfinished mission, ideas many believed were impossible, setbacks that brought the company to the brink of collapse, and a conviction that has guided every innovation for more than five decades:
‘Technology only matters if it improves life for patients.’
From the invention of the Gamma Knife to the future of AI-powered radiation therapy, Larry Leksell shares lessons on leadership, resilience, entrepreneurship, and why the next revolution in cancer care will be defined not only by innovation, but by access.
Some interviews explain history. This one explains how history is made.
