Proton Therapy

Proton therapy is a form of radiation treatment that uses beams of protons to deliver more targeted, precise doses than conventional photon beams.

More than 50,000 people around the world have been treated with proton therapy. As a result of its success, treatment is emerging from research facilities into regional treatment centers.

Varian has a rich history working with the scientific community to advance proton therapy and is a world leader in the manufacturing of medical devices and software for treating cancer.

By combining advanced imaging, planning, and state-of-the art proton delivery, we offer clinicians an end-to-end, fully integrated Intensity Modulation Proton Therapy (IMPT) solution at the forefront of cancer therapy options today.

Disclaimer

The proton therapy device technology described here has not been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for clinical use and is in development. The FDA has a unique set of standards for proton therapy devices because the entire proton therapy facility must be built for the specific device. For these types of devices, the FDA allows proton therapy sponsors to discuss projects with potential customers and to engage in contracts/orders to build proton therapy facilities and /or to purchase proton therapy equipment. However, contracts or other engagements specific to clinical practice are strictly prohibited; that is, no engagements or agreements for patient scheduling or physician group practice to use proton therapy equipment are permitted in advance of FDA clearance.
