Accuray's (ARAY) Radixact System Used First Time in Germany
Read MoreHide Full Article
Accuray Incorporated (ARAY - Free Report) recently announced that Germany’s Technischen Universität München (TUM) hospital has treated cancer patients for the first time using the Radixact system. Accuray’s Radixact is fully-integrated with the Precision Treatment Planning System and the iDMS Data Management System.
Following the announcement, shares of Accuray rose 1% to $4.18 at close.
We believe positive developments such as these will provide cushion to the stock which has declined 1.6% against the industry's 21.3% rise in a year’s time. The current level is also lower than the S&P 500 index’s gain of 13.4%.
The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Per management, the patients were treated for breast cancer, head and neck tumors, prostate cancer and spinal tumors. Notably, the Radixact system replaced the TomoTherapy System at TUM.
Clearly, this latest development is likely to fortify Accuray’s position in the radiotherapy market.
Market Prospects
Medgadget opines that the global radiotherapy market is projected to see a CAGR of 7% between 2018 and 2023. It further states that the United States holds a large market share of the radiotherapy market.
Another key player in the radiotherapy market is Varian Medical Systems . The California-based MedTech giant’s flagship TrueBeam radiotherapy system deserves a special mention in this regard.
In fact, Accuray’s CyberKnife System is a robotic radiosurgery system that enables clinicians to make the most of their skills in treating cancer.
Radixact in Focus
Radixact is Accuray’s flagship radiotherapy product which has been consistently driving the top line.
Lately, the Healthcare Global Enterprises (HCG) EKO in Kolkata, India, treated the first patient in the country with the Radixact System.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
