Truebeam® by Varian delivers precise dosages of radiotherapy to treat cancer wherever it is found in the body. It offers advanced imaging and high precision dosage control, improving the accuracy and safety of treatments.

Replacing existing systems at the Nepean Cancer and Wellness Centre, one TrueBeam® system came online in 2023 and a second system is currently being installed and due to go live over the next few months.

Dr Maria Azzi, Head of Radiation Oncology at the Nepean Cancer and Wellness Centre says, “These systems are providing our patients and service with access to continuous state-of-the-art technology with improved accuracy and precision.”

“The installation of these Truebeam® systems highlights our commitment to delivering the very latest in radiotherapy treatments, enhancing care to our cancer patients.”
