RefleXion Medical announced today that it entered into a three-system contract with Select Healthcare cancer facility developer.
The multi-year, multi-site contract was agreed upon with the aim of creating new, free-standing treatment centers using the RefleXion X1 platform for treating all stages of cancer with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
RefleXion said in a news release that the agreement helps to bring its novel biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) — a modality using emissions generated from cancer itself to direct radiotherapy — to Select Healthcare’s local communities so patients with solid tumor cancers can receive care near their home.
BgRT uses emissions from a patient’s cancer cells created by injecting a small amount of a targeting molecule carrying a positron-emitting radioisotope, known as a PET tracer, to guide EBRT. As the PET tracer binds to the tumor cells, it produces emissions that signal the cancer’s location.
