Post #ASTRO23 Edition - The Highlights
San Diego was a whirlwind of activity for the team at Leo Cancer Care. Just like in previous years, our booth attracted significant attention. We welcomed a record number of visitors who had the opportunity to experience a set-up on our full-size replica of Marie?. Additionally, we made two significant industry announcements and conducted a live QA demo. If you couldn't join us in person, don't fret, we've captured plenty of video footage to share. In the meantime, here are the key highlights:
Leo Cancer Care and THERYQ collab to deliver FLASH radiotherapy

We also had a very special visitor to the booth Julie McCrossin AM, who interviewed our very own Kate Yip at the booth:
"As a cancer patient, I found lying flat on the bed of a LINAC or radiation therapy machine made me feel vulnerable, especially because I had to wear an immobilisation or safety mask to keep my head rigidly still. I was interested to see this new approach for the first time in San Diego California. It’s an innovation that started in Australia." Julie McCrossin AM.
