BREAST CANCER AWARENESS 2021
Every Woman Deserves the Best Option for Breast Cancer Treatment
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time of year when people around the world, including the Accuray team, join together to honor the millions of breast cancer patients and survivors. Our legacy of patient-first innovation drives unique capabilities for the confident treatment of breast cancer.
A promising option for partial breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery.
The true robotic precision and motion synchronization & real-time adaptive capabilities of the CyberKnife® System provides choices for early stage breast cancer patients treated post-lumpectomy.
Two recent clinical studies indicate stereotactic accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered with the CyberKnife System and Synchrony technology enabled precise treatments while limiting toxicity and preserving cosmesis.
An effective clinical solution for routine and complex breast cancer treatments.
The Radixact® System, the next-generation TomoTherapy® platform, provides a personalized, precise and non-invasive option for treating breast cancer, typically a post-lumpectomy or mastectomy.
The system is the world’s first helical radiotherapy platform, delivering highly accurate radiation dose from 360 degrees around the patient. Multiple clinical studies show that the TomoTherapy System can provide excellent outcomes for breast cancer patients.
Clinical Studies Offer Hope for Breast Cancer Patients
