"We could not be more thrilled to have this amazing technology here at Montefiore, along with the clinical expertise to guide its use," said Shalom Kalnicki, M.D., F.A.C.R.O., professor and chair, Department of Radiation Oncology, Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "We know the ability to adapt the radiation dose to the actual target and normal tissue position and shape is key to the future of radiation therapy. This technology is so sophisticated it can streamline treatment so cures are more frequent and patients are better protected from side effects they have suffered in the past. The Radixact System is an exciting step forward solidifying the Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care's place on the frontier of cancer treatment."


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the state of New York has the third highest cancer rate in the United States.1 More than 105,000 people in New York are diagnosed with cancer each year, or approximately 287 people each day.2 Innovations such as the Radixact System are helping to make it possible for people who are diagnosed with cancer to live longer with a better quality of life than was previously possible.

"Montefiore is a leading Academic Medical Center known around the world for its innovate cancer research and care," said Josh Levine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Accuray. "We are proud that they selected the innovative Radixact System to enhance the range of treatment options they provide to their patients. The Montefiore team's early experience with the system has been exceedingly positive, similar to what we are hearing from other physicians, and reinforces the value it can bring to a radiation oncology department by improving the effectiveness and efficiency with which radiation treatments can be delivered."
