William Hall: "Personalized radiotherapy"

One of the most exciting advancements in modern radiotherapy is the ability to frequently acquire high-quality MRIs throughout a patient’s treatment course. This capability, enabled by the Elekta Unity MR-Linac, opens new doors for real-time monitoring and personalization of cancer care.

We’ve long known that tumors respond differently to radiotherapy—some shrink rapidly, while others respond more slowly or not at all. For the first time, clinicians can:

• Visualize how tumors respond to treatment in real time
• Adapt radiotherapy plans mid-course based on the individual’s tumor response
• Move toward truly personalized radiotherapy that is tailored to each patient’s biology

This represents a major shift in clinical practice, offering greater hope for precision cancer care.
Elekta is also taking a unique and forward-thinking approach to innovation. With a strong commitment to research, development, and collaboration, Elekta is helping to advance adaptive radiotherapy and bring cutting-edge technology into clinical practice responsibly and effectively.
