Protecting healthy tissue — protecting quality of life.

While all radiotherapy treatments carry the risk of side effects, Radixact treatments are well tolerated with minimal side effects. The Radixact System allows your treatment team to optimize the radiation dose delivered to the target — while minimizing dose to nearby organs (i.e., heart, lungs) and surrounding healthy tissues. Feedback from doctors suggests that Radixact treatment can reduce the risk of common side effects that impact quality of life both during and after treatment. The majority of patients can continue normal activity during and immediately following treatment.
