Nov. 1, 2021
By Annette Boyle
A brighter future awaits radiotherapy if Flash and LIGHT live up to their promise.

Varian reported that the first human clinical trial of Flash, Fast-01, completed its treatment phase last week at the Cincinnati Children’s/University of Cincinnati Health Proton Therapy Center. Advanced Oncotherapy plc presented results from a modeling study of Linac for Image Guided Hadron Therapy (LIGHT) technology at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2021 Annual Meeting demonstrating that LIGHT enables both the high, super-quick dose delivery of Flash and good conformality of dose delivery to tumor tissue.

That is a lot of ifs, but the study posted strong results: 100% specificity and 92.2% sensitivity for cancer and 95% specificity and 62.5% sensitivity for precancerous lesions.

Abbott soundly beats earnings estimates with Delta boost

Oct. 20, 2021
By Annette Boyle
The COVID-19 testing rebound driven by the Delta variant’s extended surge pushed Abbott Laboratories’ earnings per share for the third quarter nearly 50% higher than consensus estimates. Sales climbed to $10.928 billion, up 15% from expected estimates of $9.564 billion. COVID-19 testing accounted for $1.9 billion in sales, but even without that boost, the company posted year-over-year growth of 11.7% compared to the third quarter of 2019. With COVID testing included, Abbott had organic sales growth of 22.4% compared to the same quarter of 2020 and up 35% compared to the third quarter of 2019. With the third-quarter results, the company announced an increase in the full-year guidance to $5 to $5.10, nearly 40% higher than last year.
