A recently presented investigational clinical trial evaluated the impact of 18F fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging on patient management of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after initial prostate cancer treatment and negative or equivocal findings on standard-of-care imaging. The LOCATE trial is a prospective, multi-center, open-label study (NCT02680041) conducted at 15 sites in the United States. Its primary endpoint measured the percentage of men with suspected biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer following initial prior therapy whose treatment plan was changed following an 18F fluciclovine PET/CT scan.

Recently published data from two new studies demonstrate the benefits of Accuray’s TomoTherapy System in the delivery of total body irradiation (TBI). TBI is a procedure commonly used to prepare patients being treated for leukemia and multiple myeloma for a bone marrow transplant. It involves irradiation of the entire body, elevating the need for precision, accuracy and homogeneity in radiation dose delivery. The TomoTherapy platform's architecture enables efficient and effective delivery of radiation over large areas of the patient, making it a valuable part of the bone marrow transplantation conditioning regimen.
