UTSW Takes Lead as One of the First Institutions in the Nation to Provide Biology-Guided Radiotherapy

UT Southwestern's Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center stands at the forefront, being the first in Texas and among the nation's pioneers to introduce SCINTIX biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT). This cutting-edge technology, facilitated by the RefleXion X1 unit, combines positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with radiotherapy to deliver precise treatment for both primary and metastatic bone and lung cancers. SCINTIX utilizes a radioactive tracer to capitalize on cancer cells' emissions, strategically targeting diseased tissue and marking a significant advancement in precision oncology.
