Title: Biology Guiding Radiotherapy – Turning Cancer on Itself. Finally.

Speaker:  Cal Huntzinger, Sr Director, Clinical Development- RefleXion Medical

Date: 11/27/2018

Brief Description:
RefleXion Medical, a biotargeting oncology company, was founded to answer a simple question: if a cancer cell emits a signal, can we shoot right back to destroy it? Cal provided insights in the development and clinical applications of RefleXion’s biologyguided radiotherapy, the first to utilize the cancer itself to guide radiation delivery. The machine uses PET, the gold standard in cancer staging and imaging. The RefleXion machine senses PET emissions and rapidly responds by sending a beamlet of therapeutic x-rays toward the originating tumor. BgRT makes it feasible to track and treat multiple tumors throughout the body in the same session.
