Brainlab has arranged 4 th Brainlab Radiotherapy European User Meeting for all the doctors across the world to discuss the best approaches for future treatment with radiation therapy for brain cancer, prostate and lung. The meeting will be conducted at the Global Centre of Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Rigs Hospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark.

Doctors will share their best practices and experiences in the treatment of cancers difficult to treat using advanced radiotherapy.

The two-day meeting held at Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark, aims to analyze the best approaches for future radiation treatment to achieve the best outcomes for patients. Over 170 physicians in nearly 90 international cancer centers will hear 33 different advanced approaches to treat cancer in the body using techniques of modern radiation therapy.

Highlights of the meeting will be presentations of new protocols for treating lung cancer, prostate and brain radiosurgery. These protocols show that radiosurgery can offer faster treatment times, shorter treatment periods and in turn allows us to treat more patients using the same advanced radiotherapy systems.

The clinical specialist in prostate cancer, Professor Raymond Miralbell, head of Radiation Oncology at University Hospital Geneva, Switzerland, will present their experience treating prostate cancer using a new approach to radiosurgery: “Using a hypofractionation end we show how to treat prostate cancer with precision and effectiveness in a very short time frame, offering a noninvasive treatment option for patients with results comparable to traditional open surgery. At the meeting we can share findings and also launch an appeal to doctors to use this protocol in their own schools and help raise more results that will allow improvements in treatment.”

The biannual meeting Brainlab radiotherapy immediately following the launch of the Global Center of Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Rigs Hospitalet, released to local doctors the day before. The plant is one of the best cancer centers in the world equipped with advanced technology that allows doctors to try and find some of the most modern techniques available to patients.

Professor Sven Aage Engelholm , Head of Radiation Therapy, said: “Now we have some of the most advanced technologies in the world to treat cancer .  hope that with the combination of the latest technologies and improved treatment protocols can maximize the number of patients we can treat, and we intend to treat 3,000 in the next five years.”

Stefan Vilsmeier , founder and CEO of Brainlab said: “A key initiative is to promote Brainlab recommended clinical practices and are pleased to be involved in partnerships with key centers that are driving the radiosurgery and clinical excellence in cancer care. As a company, we have a commitment to support doctors to improve their flow clinical work and in turn improve cancer care for their patients.”

Brainlab develops, manufactures and markets medical technology run through software that is compatible with the targeted therapies, less invasive.
