Accuray Incorporated announced that the registration dossier for the AccurayPrecision® Treatment Planning System (TPS) has been approved by the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The Accuray Precision TPS is now available for use with the CNNC-Accuray joint venture Tomo® C radiation therapy system and in combination, will provide medical care teams with a new option for delivering extremely precise and accurate radiotherapy treatments, ultimately expanding access to care for more cancer patients in China. The Accuray Precision TPS was developed to facilitate the creation and adaptation of precise treatment plans in less time.

The planning solution enables clinicians to routinely incorporate modifications to treatment planning into the course of treatment to account for changes in tumor size, shape and location ? as well as subtle changes in the location of organs and other healthy tissue ? thereby increasing treatment precision.

The Tomo C platform features helical imaging and radiation delivery. With fully-integrated treatment planning, centralized data management and ultra-precise treatment delivery using patented beam-shaping technology, the system enables greater control of the radiation dose so it conforms precisely to the tumor and helps minimize dose to healthy tissue. The system is designed to enable medical care teams to optimize outcomes for standard radiation therapy indications including breast, prostate, lung, and head and neck cancers, in addition to complex treatments such as total marrow irradiation.
