Varian Medical Systems, a company focuses energy on saving lives by equipping the world with advanced technology for fighting cancer and for X-ray imaging, announced the launch of a new website (http://medicalaffairs.varian.com) for the exchange of clinical information, scientific research, and expert opinion around the management of cancers and other conditions with an emphasis on applications utilizing radiotherapy.
"Varian's new Medical Affairs website is intended as a place for educational and scientific exchange," said Patrick Kupelian, MD, vice president of clinical affairs at Varian. "Our goal is to help bridge the knowledge gap by providing clinicians with access to impactful clinical knowledge and topical information. We also welcome input from the clinical community and look forward to interacting with our professional colleagues around the world to help advance the science of radiation oncology for the benefit of patients."
At launch the site is offering video- and audio-taped symposia that Varian has supported or sponsored in the recent past, including a recent self-assessment continuing medical education (SA-CME) accredited webinar, and a selection of bibliographies organized by disease site. In the future the site will house additional resources including webinars with educational credits, information about sponsored/translational research and clinical trials, case studies, and FAQs for the medical professional.
