"The high dose rates that only Varian can offer on its medical linear accelerators are vital for the sort of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy treatments that are used increasingly for primary liver, liver metastasis and lung cancer treatments," said Rolf Staehelin, international head of marketing operations for Varian's Oncology Systems group. "Regulatory approval means cancer patients in India can now benefit from such advanced treatments."
"With the largest installed base of linear accelerators in India and market-leading position in new systems, Varian continues to equip the country's cancer hospitals with technologies that make advanced radiotherapy techniques fast and easy to deliver," added Ashok Kakkar, managing director of Varian India. "We have also established a dedicated education center in Mumbai because helping to train the nation's radiotherapists and physicists in the safe and effective use of Varian's products is crucial for the future care of India's growing cancer population."
