Leo Cancer Care Ltd. (Leo Cancer Care) is an innovative British and US medical company designing and developing cancer treatment systems that simplify radiation therapy (RT) and make it more human. Leo Cancer Care started with the logical question: why rotate the radiation therapy device if we can rotate the upright patient and put the therapy chair in a smaller treatment room, making RT more accessible than ever before?

The time when artificial intelligence (AI) was limited to labs and research groups is long gone. Its widespread presence in the internet-related industry (search engines, social networks, e-commerce) is now obvious to practically everyone, and we can no longer imagine the IT world without it. Today, the application of AI has spread to all kinds of industries, including those where reliability and safety are critical, and where strict regulations apply. And since quality assurance (QA) is an essential contributor to safety, it has become necessary to develop QA and regulatory frameworks for higher risk AI applications.

One of the most essential elements of the radiation therapy facility is the treatment room. The latter is not only the shielded vault where the cancer patient receives their planned radiation dose but also the place which connects all the in-room imaging, positioning and treatment functionalities of radiation therapy.

With advances in radiation therapy, cancer treatment has come a long way in the last twenty years. Therapy with high-energy photons from medical linacs has become the mainstay of oncology and saves millions of lives each year. At the same time, a multitude of advanced radiation therapy modalities has reached maturity, such as particle, boron neutron capture and heavy-ion therapy. The clinical and manufacturer communities are now concentrating on optimising, leveraging and consolidating the performance and capabilities of specific subsystems and elements of radiation therapy devices and facilities worldwide.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is not yet a "household name" at your nearest oncology ward, but it may soon become one. It is a two-step treatment combining the infusion of a drug containing boron-10 and irradiation with low-energy neutrons. Neither the drug nor the neutron beam are Independently toxic and affect healthy tissue minimally.

A next-generation cancer treatment is now heading to your neighbourhood clinic, and it's called Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). It has the potential to deliver highly effective and very cell-selective radiation therapy with a truly low impact on the patient's quality of life, possibly less than all other radiation, chemotherapy or biological therapy modalities in current use.
