Join us in Vienna as we welcome you to our International Oncology Summit ahead of #ESTRO25. Engage with thought leaders in interactive sessions, led by members of institutions at the forefront of technology adoption. Listen to their stories and embark on a collaborative journey of learning. And of course, we will share insights into new technologies. https://bit.ly/4kKe1iV

Varian's RapidArc Dynamic* solution aims to address one of the biggest challenges in breast cancer radiotherapy: balancing tumor control while minimizing toxicity. A recent study from the Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System highlights a promising approach — using a single-arc, two-modulated port plan. In a 13-patient cohort, this technique significantly reduced heart and lung doses compared to conventional two-arc VMAT plans, aligning with ASTRO’s guidelines for minimizing heart exposure. While more research is needed, these findings point to an exciting step forward for organ-sparing.

The statement by Varian’s customer described here is based on results achieved in the customer’s unique clinical setting. Because there is no “typical” clinical setting and many variables exist, there is no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results. QR700020245

“At Varian we’re always looking for ways to streamline our processes to deliver more value to our customers,” says Kevin Mace, Head of Global Installations for Varian.   “That's why we're excited to introduce a new digital documentation tool to streamline the installation and upgrade process for MedTech systems. By improving efficiency and traceability, the new process allows our engineers to focus on installing our equipment rather than chasing paperwork.”  Learn more at: https://bit.ly/3Rikjc1 QR700020247

For radiotherapy clinics looking to get the most out of their resources, the adoption of MRI for treatment planning can offer significant benefits — especially in soft-tissues or for the detection of small metastases. 🎥 Check out how the Radiation Clinic at University Hospital Erlangen in Germany is realizing these benefits with the adoption of a dedicated MRI system to plan radiation therapy. Operated collaboratively across multiple departments, this system helps streamline workflows and maximize utilization through shared access.    Watch the full interview with Prof. Rainer Fietkau and explore the benefits of a dedicated Siemens Healthineers MRI scanner for RT: https://lnkd.in/gzD9UTtj

When working with large anatomy around a tumor, the ability to see the entire target is essential for patient alignment during imaging and planning, as well as for enabling clinicians to reduce target margins.  Varian’s HyperSight imaging solution offers a larger field of view (FOV), compared to TrueBeam standard CBCT, allowing clinicians to see more anatomy that may have previously cut off or out of view. Our recent Centerline article highlights some of the key benefits in head and neck, prostate and breast cases. https://bit.ly/4bRDgeZ

Varian’s RapidArc Dynamic has been used for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere at Icon Cancer Centre Midland, Australia. https://bit.ly/3XPaNkf Initial clinical findings released by Icon Group are promising: 🔹 Up to 80% faster treatment planning for breast radiotherapy. 🔹 22% lower radiation dose to the heart for breast cancer, improving patient safety. 🔹 Improved clinical confidence, with physicians selecting RapidArc Dynamic plans as optimal in 100% of cases.   Professor John Boyages AM, a leading radiation oncologist, calls this “the best treatment planning I’ve seen in my 40-year career.” By precisely shaping radiation around healthy organs while delivering optimal doses to tumors, RapidArc Dynamic aims to set a new benchmark in patient-centered care.

#ClinicalMonthly update - Last week, Govindarjan Narayanan, MD, welcomed the first patient treated with IntelliBlate microwave ablation system in the ACCLAIM Trial. Varian is humbled to be a part of the efforts to bring more high-quality, multi-center, and multi-national prospective evidence to the study of MWA in local tumor control. In addition to assessing a standardized, reproducible method of treating specific disease, the study examines the implementation of image-guidance and treatment-planning software to monitor the treatment as well as patient outcomes over time.

This past week, Varian hosted its annual Australasian Oncology Summit where President of Digital Oncology Ashley Smith led an insightful session on AI titled, "Should AI do my Laundry?" While she ultimately determined that AI might not be folding our clothes just yet, AI has very much accelerated its usefulness in a number of use cases, including digital oncology. From early detection to personalized treatment plans, AI is transforming how we approach cancer care. Varian and Siemens Healthineers are proud to be at the forefront of this healthcare revolution; With 5 AI technology centers across the world, our teams are putting AI in the hands of clinicians to help them better detect, plan for, and treat cancer while reducing the impact to healthy tissue.

The IntelliBlate microwave ablation system was designed from the ground up to provide clinicians with greater predictability, precision, and control during their procedures. Visit us at #SIR25NASH to learn more https://bit.ly/3Fg7Hzg
