Investigator-Initiated Research
We take a collaborative research approach. In partnering with physicians and institutions, we are able to:
- Assess clinical workflow and gain potential efficiencies
- Follow patients long-term to gather understanding of tumor site treatment, as well as outcomes such as toxicity and survival rates
- Target key tumor sites that are in need of optimal treatment such as pancreas, liver, stomach, and central non-small cell lung cancer
- Explore the benefits of adaptive planning and techniques such as SBRT in more prevalent cancers such as prostate and breast cancer
Our collaborative research program involves forming a committee of ViewRay experts and site personnel to establish/review/approve areas of study that are mutually beneficial. We have a dedicated team of experts who execute our process, giving our customers the support and collaboration necessary for success. We partner with sites to ensure that data is compliant, ethical, and of the highest quality, which increases the potential for presentation and publication at key meetings and symposia.
