Advanced Radiotherapy Introduced to Combat India's Cancer Burden
India has a big problem with cancer, with over 1.4 million cases every year.
Many of these cases are found late, which makes treatment harder.
A new kind of treatment called adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is being introduced to help.
ART uses special machines to give the right amount of radiation to the tumor, making treatment more precise and safer.
This can help people live longer and feel better.
A company called Elekta is bringing this new technology to India.
They will show it at a big meeting of doctors in Kolkata from November 28-30, 2025.
Elekta is a big company that makes machines to help treat cancer.
They have offices in many countries and want to make sure everyone can get the best cancer care.
India reports over 1.4 million cancer cases annually, with many diagnosed at later stages.
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) offers real-time precision therapy, personalizing treatment for each patient.
Elekta, a global leader in radiation therapy, is introducing Elekta Evo, an AI-enabled CT-Linac, in India.
The launch will take place at the Association of Radiation Oncologists of India conference (AROICON) in Kolkata from November 28-30, 2025.
ART is particularly beneficial for common cancers in India, including head and neck, breast, cervical, and prostate cancers.
