While no one wants to cross paths with cancer, this is the technology you’ll want to know about if you do.

Newly available at all Novant Health Cancer facilities, the Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator (LINAC) is a tumor-targeting radiation treatment able to accurately pinpoint most cancers, including brain, prostate, breast, lung, skin, abdominal cancer, and more. This means:

  • Fewer + shorter treatments (think: less driving and hospital time)
  • Millimeter precision that keeps the surrounding tissue healthy
  • Minimal side effects + more comfortable treatment

Why this makes a big difference
