SVP & Head of Neuro Solutions at Elekta | Driving Innovation in Med Tech | Empowering Leaders to Redefine Business Success
Hello from Bucharest! This weekend, Iâm here at the European Leksell Gamma Knife Society meeting, connecting with some of the leading neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists across Europe, all dedicated to advancing the field of radiosurgery. The past decade has seen tremendous growth in the use of the Leksell Gamma Knife for treating complex brain conditions, with around 2 million patients worldwide benefiting from this non-invasive treatment. Each year, more than 100,000 patients globally turn to the Leksell Gamma Knife for precision-focused care that treats tumours and neurological disorders with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue. This approach has been especially transformative for patients with brain metastases, who require highly targeted treatment options. At Elekta weâre committed to supporting neurosurgeons and patients alike by advancing Gamma Knife technology and expanding its accessibility: ð¬ Innovation in precision treatment - With ongoing R&D investments, weâre enhancing the precision and versatility of the Leksell Gamma Knife, allowing for even more tailored treatments. Our latest updates enable clinicians to treat the most challenging cases with unprecedented accuracy and workflow. ð Expanding access to cutting-edge care - Weâre working with hospitals and health systems across Europe and beyond to bring the Leksell Gamma Knife technology to more communities, ensuring that more patients have access to life-changing radiosurgery, regardless of where they live. Iâm looking forward to engaging with neuro surgeons and healthcare leaders to explore how we can continue to make a meaningful impact on patient outcomes in neurosurgery. Thank you to all the incredible professionals here for your dedication and insights and welcoming me to your community. Together, weâre shaping the future. #lgks #leksellgammaknife #elgks2024 #lgks2025

Estou muito feliz por ter participado no 16th International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society Congress (International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS)), e aproveito já para dar destaque à reunião da Leksell Gamma Knife Society (Leksell Gamma Knife Society). Foi uma experiência enriquecedora estar entre os especialistas desta área, a discutir os avanços e desafios da radiocirurgia estereotáxica. A troca de conhecimentos e experiências neste evento foi inestimável, reforçando o meu compromisso com a excelência no tratamento de pacientes. Agradeço a todos os organizadores e participantes por proporcionarem um ambiente tão inspirador e colaborativo.
