Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has launched radiotherapy treatment planning courses at a Russian cancer center, the company said.
Radiotherapy practitioners in Russia can receive local-language training on advanced radiotherapy treatment planning techniques at a facility within one of Russia's leading cancer centers -- Blokhin Russian Scientific Center of Oncology in Moscow, according to Varian.
The company has appointed a Russian trainer and has made all training materials available in the local language. Students are expected to come from throughout Russia and neighboring countries such as Belarus and Kazakhstan, Varian said.
