The Stephenson Cancer Center of the University of Oklahoma Medical Center is the second hospital in the country to introduce a revolutionary cancer treatment called a guided radiotherapy on the surface. Treatment uses non -invasive technology known as the Accuray Radixact system, offering faster, more precise and comfortable cancer patients. The Radixact system provides radiotherapy modulated by the image guided by image, helping health care teams effectively position patients and targeting tumors with increased precision while protecting healthy tissues. This advanced technology is particularly beneficial for patients with tumors in difficult places, such as lungs or close critical organs because it minimizes the impact on surrounding healthy tissues. It can also follow tumors in real time and adjust the treatment to take into account changes in the size of the tumor.
“Each advancement in cancer treatment technology means new hope for our patients,” JARRY JABOIN, MD, radiotherapist at the Stephenson Cancer Center said. “With the Radixact system, we can offer more patients access to precise personalized treatment plans that correspond to their specific needs while minimizing the disturbance of their daily life.”
