About Advanced Oncotherapy Plc www.avoplc.com

 

Advanced Oncotherapy is a provider of particle therapy in the treatment of cancer, which harnesses the very best in modern technology. Advanced Oncotherapy's R&D team, ADAM, in Geneva, focuses on the development of a proprietary proton accelerator - LIGHT (Linac Image Guided Hadron Technology). LIGHT accelerates protons to the energy levels achieved in legacy machines but in a compact and truly modular unit, offering significant cost advantages. LIGHT also delivers proton beams in a way that facilitates greater precision and electronic control, which are not achievable with currently available alternative technologies.

 

Advanced Oncotherapy will offer healthcare providers affordable systems that will enable them to treat cancer with an innovative technology, offering better health outcomes and lower treatment related side effects.

 

Advanced Oncotherapy continually monitors the market for any emerging improvements in delivering proton or particle therapy and actively seeks working relationships with providers of these innovative technologies. Through these relationships, the Company will remain the prime provider of cutting edge, cost-effective systems for particle therapy. 

 

Due to the high cost of building and operating traditional proton therapy technologies has meant that the global capacity to treat cancer patients in this way has been extremely low. Only 1% of patients eligible for radiotherapy are being treated with proton therapy currently, with a capacity for as little as 60,000 patients to be treated annually across the globe. Considering the UK alone, where roughly 360,000 patients are diagnosed with cancer each year, it is clear that there is a desperate clinical need for the roll-out of a technology that can bring the benefits of proton beam therapy to millions of patients worldwide.
