  • Sambls and Dr. Delgado presented technical and clinical stereotactic work using the TomoTherapy HiArt treatment system and discussed Grupo IMO's research goals for the future.

    • Said Dr. Sambls: "TomoTherapy HiArt allows the development of new techniques for treating brain tumors with maximum precision. In this sense, we have achieved great preliminary results with what we call Tomo-Radiosurgery, fundamentally with regard to irregularly shaped brain tumors, brain metastases and tumors located close to critical organs such as the optic nerves and the brain stem. Another example is the treatment of acoustic neurinoma. We believe TomoTherapy's especially homogenous dose distribution capabilities may help to spare sensitive auditory nerve tissue."

    • Matthias Uhl explained how University Clinic Heidelberg has expanded its own use of the TomoTherapy HiArt system to include stereotactic treatments.

    "We are applying TomoTherapy to SBRT for early-stage lung cancer and also multiple metastases in the brain and liver," said Dr. Uhl. "Treating multiple lesions simultaneously results in a reduced amount of timethe patient spends in the treatment room compared with conventional treatment alternatives."
