PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Varian (NYSE: VAR), a leading provider of cancer care
technologies and solutions, continues to reinforce its commitment
to delivering Intelligent Cancer Care™ during the 2020
American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) taking place
virtually from October 24-31. At this
year's show, the company will showcase its progress in helping more
people access advanced cancer care, making cancer care more
personalized, and delivering more data-driven insights to improve
efficiencies and outcomes. In addition to a "best in class"
virtual experience, Varian's contributions to Intelligent Cancer
Care will be highlighted in eleven presentations including data
from the use of Varian's adaptive radiotherapy system,
Ethos®, for lung, prostate, bladder, upper abdomen, head
& neck cancers, and the first-look data presented by the
recently-formed AI-driven Adaptive Intelligence Consortium.
"Despite the transition to a virtual platform, our entire global
Varian team is looking forward to connecting with ASTRO 2020
attendees and showcasing our innovations that help providers
deliver the best cancer care to patients throughout their entire
journey," said Dow Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Varian.
"Since its launch at last year's ASTRO, our
Ethos® Therapy has demonstrated significant impact
toward personalizing treatment for patients resulting in 10
featured presentations during this year's meeting."
At this year's virtual event, Varian will participate with a
dynamic booth presence and provide one-on-one product
demonstrations, as well as highlight how it pioneers for the future
with sessions during the ASTRO Innovation Hub. The company will
also have a presence at the American Society of Radiologic
Technologists (ASRT) and Society of Radiation Oncology
Administrators (SROA) concurrent meetings. Attendees can register
