In all things, people should be respectful.

Human kindness is core to the fabric of society.

Our department is one of only a handful of facilities in the world with the RefleXion treatment platform, a technology that combines PET and CT with a medical linear accelerator. Read more about this unique approach, known as biology-guided radiotherapy.

The Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center is among the first to offer #radiation treatments using a new technology that combines PET imaging with #radiotherapy to precisely treat #bonecancer and #lungcancer. https://t.co/iOydH2HG7i @utswcancer

[UPMC Hillman Cancer Center @UPMCHillmanCC]

Our radiation oncology team performed the first treatment of the world’s most precise radiotherapy. The @reflexionmed SCINTIX® therapy delivers a dose of radiation that precisely targets tumors, sparing surrounding tissue.

With PET guidance on our PET linac, our first SCINTIX patient was treated smoothly today making us the second in the world to execute this groundbreaking therapy!

@drjamesgood @viewray @PaulGearing1 @HimanshuNagarMD I would love to observe silently to better understand the needs of the community, if you'd have me.

[Stanford Radiation Oncology @StanfordRadOnc]

Stanford Radiation Oncology first to try out novel tumor-targeting radiation therapy machine: It is the first time the new approach, known as biology-guided radiation therapy, has been used in a clinic.

@Mur_Sur @StanfordRadOnc @reflexionmed Congratulations and thank you to everyone at the @StanfordRadOnc team for making this historic milestone possible

[Yale Radiation Oncology Residency @YaleRadOnc]

Today we treated our first patient on the RefleXion X1 platform, becoming the first center on the east coast to have this exciting new technology! Patient outcomes will be collected as part of a multi-institutional prospective registry. @reflexionmed

I’ve spent the last 7 years (to the day) at @reflexionmed pouring my heart and soul into designing and engineering technology that will hopefully save many lives by treating cancer, utilizing the biology of the cancer to guide treatment. Congrats, team! https://t.co/zBCLsTxlKD
