TruBeam STX

TruBeam STX is one of the most advanced radiotherapy systems used in cancer treatment. With its high-precision radiation technology, it targets tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Representing the forefront of modern radiotherapy, this system stands out for its effectiveness and safety in treating complex tumor types.

Technological Infrastructure and Operation

TruBeam STX is based on linear accelerator technology, which delivers high-energy X-rays to tumor cells, damaging their DNA and preventing further growth. The system integrates advanced imaging capabilities to evaluate the patient’s anatomy in 3D before and during treatment, ensuring that radiation is delivered with millimetric precision directly to the targeted area. One of the system’s most significant advantages is its ability to perform multiple radiotherapy techniques on a single platform — including IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy), VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy), SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery), and SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy). This flexibility enables effective treatment of both small and large tumor volumes.

Advantages

• Delivers millimetric precision targeting to tumor tissue while protecting healthy surrounding tissues
• Shorter session times thanks to its ability to deliver high-dose treatments in a shorter period
• Advanced imaging integration allows real-time position verification and adjustments during treatment
• Combines multiple radiotherapy techniques, enabling truly personalized treatment plans
• Operates quietly and efficiently, enhancing patient comfort throughout the treatment process

Applications

TruBeam STX is used to treat a wide variety of cancer types:

• Brain Tumors: Stereotactic radiosurgery for both benign and malignant tumors
• Lung Cancer: High-dose, short-term treatment with SBRT
• Prostate Cancer: Precise radiation for effective tumor control
• Head and Neck Cancers: Exceptional accuracy in complex anatomical regions
• Liver, Pancreas, and Spinal Tumors: Highly focused and safe radiation delivery
