Leo cancer Care
Was founded with one goal in mind, to be the more human way to deliver radiation therapy
This is a very big goal but for us, this is what it means
Improve the clinical effectiveness of Radiation Therapy through upright positioning.
Improve the access to Radiation Therapy by removing the need for large and expensive rotating gantries and instead introduce slow patient rotation.
Empower patients and clinicians to face Radiation Therapy together; eye to eye.
The more human way to treat cancer
Patient's lives influence us to find a better way, a better way to improve patient care and how a patient experiences it. A better way to increase the accessibility of cancer treatments for more patients in more places. We believe our technology is that better way.
Our world class products can provide a streamlined and efficient treatment, whilst making the patient feel in control and hopeful. We truly believe that we are the more human way to treat cancer, and that is why our family of products are named after influential women in the fields of radiotherapy and radiology.

Finding a better way
Leo Cancer Care was founded with more than 100 years of Radiation Therapy experience, by a team dedicated to challenging the norms. The business has been built on research from across the globe showing the clinical benefits of upright patient positioning. Combining this with a shift from machine rotation to patient rotation, Leo Cancer Care is set to change the face of Radiation Therapy for good.

MEET
The product itself has been designed with patient experience at the forefront, with curved edges and fabric textures we have made the system more comfortable and less daunting.
Named after Ruby Payne-Scott, a pioneer of radiophysics and radio astronomy, our product Ruby is the complete upright treatment solution: a real-time, image-guided photon radiotherapy treatment system.
Working with market-leading providers of photon radiation we are enabling treatments to be delivered in the upright orientation which comes with a number of benefits for treatment accuracy and improved patient experience.
Ruby utilizes patient rotation, a fixed beam, we have removed the need for a large gantry, meaning Ruby can be installed quickly and easily
We are making Photon Therapy more accessible than ever before, Ruby can be supplied fully-shielded, which means bunkers can be a thing of the past. We understand that workflow is everything so our of state-of-the-art control system combines imaging, positioning and treatment delivery into a simple, intuitive workflow allowing you to spend more time thinking about patients.
As humans, we spend most of our day upright, this is when we feel at our most powerful and connected with others. Being in the upright position enables patients to take in their surroundings and to communicate with their clinicians, eye to eye.

WHY UPRIGHT?
Humans feel most empowered when they are upright or on their feet, we believe that cancer patients should be able to face cancer in this way, eye to eye with their clinician and able to take in their surroundings.
Emotional Benefits
Humans feel most empowered when they are upright or on their feet, we believe that cancer patients should be able to face cancer in this way, eye to eye with their clinician and able to take in their surroundings.
We empower patients to be an active participant in their treatment. Patients can have a significantly more comfortable treatment experience in the upright position; breathing is easier, reduced chance of dysphagia and gastric reflux.
Clinical Benefits
A significant reduction in breathing motion improvestreatment accuracy and reduces the need for lengthy and uncomfortable motion management techniques.
Operational Benefits
Our gantry-less approach and six degrees of freedom provide head to thigh coverage. Powered by an efficient and reliable all-in-one software solution improving ease of use and speed of set-up.
CONNECTEDNESS DURING TREATMENT
EMPOWERED TO FACE CANCER
UPRIGHT, THE NATURAL WAY TO MANAGE MOTION
LESS ORGAN DRIFT MEANS MORE ACCURATE TREATMENT
Recent studies show that when the patient lies down their organs drift due to the change in direction of gravity. Treating patients in the upright position means they can be set-up quickly whilst preventing slow organ drift during treatment.
UPRIGHT, THE NATURAL WAY TO MANAGE MOTION
Left-sided breast cancer patients treated lying on their back with Radiation Therapy are 38% more likely to develop secondary health conditions due to unnecessary toxicity delivered to the heart and lungs. By leaning patients forward in an upright orientation reduces the risk of irradiation.
POSITIONED TO TREAT IN LESS TIME
IMPROVED RELIABILITY
Simplicity drives reliability. By removing the need to rotate key components, our fixed beam system promotes improved beam production and shaping stability, whilst also reducing machine downtime.
Financial Benefits
CANCER CARE IN REACH FOR ALL, FINALLY
MORE EFFICIENCIES, MORE TREATMENTS
The clinical community is searching for solutions that fits their rapidly changing financial realities. We have created products designed for the economics of the future.
Our state-of-the-art technology reduces treatment times and saves money by increasing patient throughput and reducing set-up times.
SIMPLE AND SPEEDY INSTALLATION
Utilising a fixed Photon Therapy beam means that our solution can be delivered fully shielded, removing the need for costly bunkers, making our solution affordable and simple to install.
