Automation of repetitive tasks is essential to boost the efficiency at the clinics. This efficiency gain will be important to be able to serve an increasing patient population to be treated for cancer, as well as to free up time to handle the more complicated patient cases. I am proud that RaySearch leads the way in this transition.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

NYPC and its consortium have been excellent to work with. The team at NYPC is among the world leaders in the proton field, and it is especially gratifying that their decision to more fully transition to RayStation was based on extensive assessment of our products and service at all levels. We also look forward to working with NYPC and collaborating well into the future.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

We worked very hard over the last two years to assess the technologies in RayStation and how it could help us provide the best possible plans for our patients, utilizing the most advanced features available to us as clinicians. We are pleased that we are now able to transition even more treatment planning to RayStation.

Dr. Haibo Lin, Director of Medical Physics of the New York Proton Center

Moving to a new treatment planning platform is a large task, both technically as well as financially. NYPC is glad to partner with RaySearch, who helped us demonstrate that we could plan faster, smarter and more efficiently, and even shorten treatment times for some patients. We look forward to a long collaboration.

Jonathan Weinbach, CEO of the New York Proton Center

As we celebrate 10 years of defining state-of-the-art proton therapy treatment planning, we continue to focus on continuous innovation in particle therapy treatment planning software. We constantly push boundaries to help clinics achieve the best patient outcomes.

Johan Löf, RaySearch’s founder and CEO

We know that RayCare receives positive reviews in technical evaluations of different types of oncology information systems. With its advanced functionality, which has been further improved in the latest version, combined with the interoperability with TrueBeam, RayCare now represents a very attractive alternative to competing systems, which is confirmed by both new and existing customers. One example, that we previously informed about, is Raigmore Hospital in Scotland. Their radiotherapy center has used RayStation for their TrueBeam linear accelerators for many years and recently decided to replace their existing oncology information system with RayCare. I am confident that more centers will make similar shifts from older oncology information systems to RayCare going forward.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

However, the long-term vision is to provide software support for all types of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and surgery. As a first step, we intend to add support for treatment planning in RayStation and workflows in RayCare for chemotherapy management. We anticipate that these extensions will be launched by 2026 at the latest. DrugLog will be an excellent complement to this and significantly improve and simplify quality assurance in cancer treatment with chemotherapy. We look forward to integrating DrugLog into our offering and continuing to deliver innovative solutions to cancer centers worldwide."

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

I am a strong believer of the clinical benefits of adaptive radiation therapy. The tools have been available in RayStation for many years and RayCare has from the beginning been developed to facilitate the implementation of OART in clinical routine. In ARTemis we will have a very strong solution to enable online adaptive and I could not have asked for a better partner than The Royal Marsden, with which we have an established and fruitful collaboration, to be the pioneering center for this exciting new solution.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

This is an important milestone for RaySearch. We have invested significant resources in developing the by far most advanced treatment planning system, with support for almost all available treatment machines. Today, we see that our efforts have paid off with over 1,000 centers who have purchased RayStation. I also note with pride that ten of the fifteen highest ranked cancer hospitals in the world, according to a ranking by Newsweek, are current customers of ours. This reflects our strong position also in the top segment and confirms RaySearch as a leading vendor of high-quality cancer treatment.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

The Froedtert & MCW health network is an excellent example of the kind of health system that will enjoy the maximum benefit from RaySearch's technologies. RayStation's support for multiple delivery systems makes implementation easier and more effective at many levels. The medical staff will be able to use a single platform and determine the ideal treatment modality for every cancer patient. We look forward to working with the Froedtert & MCW cancer team for many years to come.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

Further enhancing the capabilities of multi-modality treatments is key for RaySearch in the ambition to provide tools to create the best treatment plans for cancer patients. With RayStation 2024A we also continue with improvements within fast adaptive re-planning, which will be an important focus area during the coming years.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

Online adaptive has been a key focus for RaySearch for many years and I am impressed by the work that is done at Vejle. RayStation has very advanced tools available for taking online adaptive into clinical routine and the work done by Vejle is showcasing what groundbreakning possibilities our users have to further advance cancer treatments.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch

We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation for improved patient care and operational excellence. Our goal with the new workflow is to significantly reduce the time that a patient undergoing short-course palliative radiotherapy has to stay in the hospital.

Rune S. Thing, medical physicist at Vejle Hospital

In the third quarter of 2023, net sales rose by 20 percent. Revenue from support rose by 23 percent. Operating profit amounted to SEK 28.6 M (12.0) in the third quarter and to SEK 70.5 M (22.0) for the first nine months.
