Governor Tamilsai Soundararajan on Friday launched ‘Varian’s TrueBeam’ radiotherapy system with ‘Velocity’, an intelligent software solution for interventional oncology, at the cancer centre of Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills.
She said it was a matter of pride that Telangana has the latest radiotherapy technology that can treat cancer with high precision with minimal side effects. The Governor lauded the group for bringing the best of care available in the world and pointed out that cancer has been a rising threat with alarming statistics. “We must be cautious and concerned,” she said.
TrueBeam is capable of treating a wide range of cancers with high accuracy and precision allowing oncologists to treat many types of complex cancer cases. Patients also benefit due to comfort, accuracy, and speed permitted by the system. Velocity also organises patient data and makes it available in one place to help clinicians make more informed treatment decisions.
