MADISON,
Wis., June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray
Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that the registration
dossier for the Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning
System (TPS) has been approved by the Chinese National Medical
Products Administration (NMPA). The Accuray Precision TPS is now
available for use with the CNNC-Accuray joint venture
Tomo® C radiation therapy system and in combination,
will provide medical care teams with a new option for delivering
extremely precise and accurate radiotherapy treatments, ultimately
expanding access to care for more cancer patients in China.
"We couldn't be more pleased about the approval of the Accuray
Precision Treatment Planning System and the potential it
represents, in combination with the Tomo C System, for cancer
patients in China, a country which
accounted for approximately 25 percent of new cancer cases
diagnosed worldwide in 20201. With this approval our
China joint venture can begin
shipping the Tomo C System to their end customers, an important
step forward in helping to address an unmet need for precision
radiation therapy," said Suzanne
Winter, president and CEO of Accuray.
Continued Ms. Winter, "Customers in China who use our organization's
CyberKnife®, Radixact® and
TomoTherapy® Systems are familiar with the Accuray
Precision Treatment Planning System, a powerful, full-featured
system that enables clinicians to efficiently generate high quality
radiation therapy treatment plans. The availability of the
treatment planning solution for the Tomo C System, a domestic made
radiation therapy delivery device, will expand our portfolio in
China and enhance our access in
the regional Type B market."
The Accuray Precision TPS was developed to facilitate the
creation and adaptation of precise treatment plans in less time.
The planning solution enables clinicians to routinely incorporate
modifications to treatment planning into the course of treatment to
account for changes in tumor size, shape and location – as well as
subtle changes in the location of organs and other healthy tissue –
thereby increasing treatment precision.
The Tomo C platform features helical imaging and radiation
delivery. With fully-integrated treatment planning, centralized
data management and ultra-precise treatment delivery using patented
beam-shaping technology, the system enables greater control of the
radiation dose so it conforms precisely to the tumor and helps
minimize dose to healthy tissue. The system is designed to enable
medical care teams to optimize outcomes for standard radiation
therapy indications including breast, prostate, lung, and head and
neck cancers, in addition to complex treatments such as total
marrow irradiation.
