About Leo Cancer Care

Leo Cancer Care is not just another player in the field of radiation oncology; it is a pioneer in redefining how cancer treatment is delivered. Our philosophy is built around the concept of "The More Human Way to Deliver Radiation Therapy," which emphasizes the importance of treating patients in a more natural, upright position. This approach is grounded in the belief that patient comfort and engagement are critical to successful treatment outcomes.

Innovation in Action: The Upright Patient Experience

At ASTRO 2024, Leo Cancer Care will showcase its flagship product, the Marie® system. Unlike traditional radiation therapy systems where patients are treated lying down, the Marie® system allows patients to receive treatment while perched or seated. This upright positioning boasts improvements to both the precision of radiation delivery and patient comfort, leading to potentially better outcomes and a more empowering experience for patients undergoing treatment.

The innovation behind Marie® lies in its use of state-of-the-art imaging and motion management technologies, which work together to enhance the accuracy of radiation targeting while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. By focusing on the patient experience and integrating advanced technology, Leo Cancer Care is setting a new standard for what radiation therapy can look like.

What to Expect at ASTRO 2024

Attendees of ASTRO 2024 can look forward to engaging with Leo Cancer Care’s team and learning more about the Marie® system and other innovative solutions the company is developing. The conference will provide an opportunity to see demonstrations of our technology, hear from experts about the clinical benefits of upright radiation therapy, and discuss the future of cancer treatment with Leo Cancer Care’s thought leaders.
