MADISON, Wis., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray
Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that as part of its
commitment to advancing patient care the company has opened a new
training center in Genolier, Switzerland, that will serve as the European
education hub for radiosurgery and radiotherapy product training,
and sharing of best practices and innovative techniques using the
latest model Accuray CyberKnife® and
Radixact® Radiation Treatment Delivery Systems and
Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System. The
Genolier based center is the most recent addition to the Accuray
network of advanced training facilities with sites located
strategically around the world to make it easier for medical care
teams to obtain state-of-the-art clinical education.
The Genolier training facility includes hands-on simulation
facilities for the CyberKnife and Radixact Systems to be used for
training and demonstrations, and meeting rooms equipped with
the most advanced technologies to host seminars, workshops and
educational events. Training will be tailored to meet the unique
requirements of the various medical professionals involved in the
care of patients using radiotherapy and radiosurgery, including
neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical physicists,
dosimetrists and radiotherapy technologists. The center sits
within the Genolier Innovation Hub, a fully-owned subsidiary of
AEVIS VICTORIA SA, whose grand
opening will occur later this year.
"People diagnosed with cancer rely on their medical team to
recommend and deliver a personalized, precise and safe treatment
for their specific condition. While our customers have multiple
educational resources available to them, we play an important role
and are dedicated to supporting their efforts to gain the knowledge
and skills required to provide access to radiotherapy in their
community and drive the highest level of patient care. Our
partnership with Genolier Innovation Hub will help us to do just
that by providing an incredible site to access high-quality
hands-on training and learn from renowned faculty," said
Suzanne Winter, president and chief
executive officer of Accuray.
The CyberKnife and Radixact Systems have complementary clinical
applications with the same goal: to empower customers to deliver
the most precise and accurate treatments while still minimizing
dose to healthy tissue, helping to reduce the risk of side effects
that may impact patients' quality of life. The systems include
advanced functionality that make it easier and more efficient to
administer extremely precise radiation treatments, even to targets
that move, providing the medical care team with options for
managing the full spectrum of cancer cases, from routine to complex
and initial treatment to retreatment, and neurologic disorders.
