RaySearch has more than 100 RayStation customers in China

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is proud to announce that the number of radiotherapy centers in China using RayStation®* for treatment planning now has passed 100. In terms of number of centers, China is RaySearch's third largest market after the US and Japan.

Since its launch in 2009, RayStation has been sold to more than 1,000 cancer centers in 44 countries. In the US and Japan, the system is used by more than 300 and 220 centers respectively. With the installation of RayStation at the China Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing, RaySearch has reached an important milestone in China, where the number of centers using RayStation now exceeds 100.

The China Japan Friendship Hospital, which is one of China's leading hospitals, continuously invests in new technology and equipment to be at the forefront. RayStation is part of the hospital's installation of the first proton therapy system in the Beijing region, marking a major advance in cancer care in the region.

RayStation is a flexible and powerful treatment planning system. No other treatment planning system supports such a wide range of treatment techniques and delivery systems – from traditional photon radiotherapy to the most advanced radiotherapy with ions, such as proton and carbon ion therapy. Since the launch of RayStation treatment planning for ions has been a very important market and by constantly being at the forefront and launching ground-breaking functions, RaySearch is today the market leader in this segment with around 120 proton centers as customers.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO of RaySearch, says: "We are very happy about our first RayStation order from the prestigious China Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. The fact that we now also have more than 100 customers in China is an important step in our continued expansion in the Chinese market, where we see great potential to improve cancer care with RayStation and our other technologies."
