Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems of Palo Alto, CA, has installed its intensity-modulated proton therapy technology using pencil-beam scanning at the Rinecker Proton Therapy Center (RPTC) in Munich, Germany.
When completed, the center will be a state-of-the-art proton facility with four gantry rooms and one fixed-beam room, the latter of which will specialize in treating tumors, such as small head, neck, and eye cancers, and tumors close to the spinal cord.
The two additional gantry rooms are due to be ready for clinical treatment this year.
