Sushil Beriwal, Academic Chief at Allegheny Health Network and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Varian Medical Systems, shared on LinkedIn:
“Breast Cancer Awareness Month
A major advancement in breast cancer planning and delivery: in silico study with Neo arc shows whole-breast with RNI plans may be delivered in ~20-30 seconds of beam-on time – versus ~154 seconds for the VMAT reference – while target coverage goals are met.
For breath-hold patients, that’s the difference between a single breath-hold and 5-6 of them – far easier to sustain, aiding heart and lung sparing.
Faster treatments. Precise delivery. More time back for patients.
