Congratulations to Elekta on their launch of SPECTRA project in Thailand!

On 11 November, the Swedish cancer care specialist introduced SPECTRA (Sustainability Practice for Enhancing Cancer Treatment in Radiotherapy) at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.  This initiative, supported by Japan External trade Organization (JETRO), aims to elevate treatment planning quality, fostering improved clinical outcomes for diverse cancer cases through an educational program in Thailand, powered by a sustainable cloud platform.  With a sharp focus on prevalent cancer types like Cervical, Breast, Lung, and Liver, SPECTRA is set to make a significant impact on cancer care.
