RefleXion Announces First Patient Treatment at Leading Freestanding Cancer Center

Beverly Hills Cancer Center expands patient treatment options in Southern California

Excerpt from the Press Release:

HAYWARD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RefleXion, an external-beam, theranostic oncology company, today announced that Beverly Hills Cancer Center, a leading private cancer diagnostic and treatment facility, has treated its first patient with the RefleXion® X1 dual-treatment modality radiotherapy platform. This milestone marks an important expansion of the X1’s clinical footprint into freestanding cancer centers, broadening patient access to both SCINTIX® biology guided-radiotherapy and conventional image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT).

“We are very pleased to have begun patient treatments on the RefleXion X1 platform,” said Ari Gabayan, M.D., medical director at Beverly Hills Cancer Center. “This dual-treatment platform enables us to treat all stages of solid tumor cancers in IGRT mode and to introduce a completely new therapeutic option using the autonomous guidance of SCINTIX therapy for patients with lung and bone tumors. SCINTIX technology is unlike any other radiotherapy, and we believe it represents the next frontier in precision cancer care.”

With this installation, Beverly Hills Cancer Center joins a growing network of cancer centers adopting RefleXion’s X1 platform to expand their radiotherapy capabilities. In addition to delivering conventional IGRT, Beverly Hills Cancer Center is preparing to offer SCINTIX therapy for patients with lung and bone tumors. SCINTIX therapy uses real-time biological signals emitted from cancer cells to autonomously guide radiation delivery. Patients receive an injection of a small amount of a PET tracer, fludeoxyglucose F18, which the cancer cells consume. The X1 detects the signals produced by the PET tracer and dynamically directs radiation dose to active tumor cells.
