NY radiation specialists
unveils state-of-the-art
Linear Accelerator
New York Radiation
Specialists unveiled its
brand new Varian Halcyon
Linear Accelerator,
at New York Cancer
& Blood Specialists’
Eastchester Center for
Cancer Care. The “NYCBS”
Eastchester location
is a multi-lingual
facility located at 2330
Eastchester Road, just
minutes from the Pelham
Parkway. The Halcyon
makes the NYCBS
Eastchester Center for
Cancer Care the most
state-of-the-art radiation
site in the region.
This cutting edge
machine boasts features
and benefi ts previously
considered impossible.
The Halcyon
uses optimized guided
radiotherapy technology
to shape radiation
beams to precisely
match a patient’s tumor.
These “beam shapers”
deliver pinpoint accuracy
of radiation to the
areas that need it, protecting
surrounding
tissue and reducing the
risk of side effects. In
addition, the sophisticated
design drastically
reduces a patient’s
table time. Since the accelerator
is a self-contained
unit, it is free to
rotate up to four times
faster than traditional
models. The Halcyon
can deliver effective
radiation therapy in as
little as fi ve minutes.
“Having the ability to
deliver more effective
treatment in less time
is a win for the patient
and aligns perfectly
with New York Cancer
& Blood Specialist’s
mission to provide the
highest quality of care”
said Dr. Reuven Grossman,
an NYCBS Radiation
Oncologist. “This
new technology provides
the most targeted
and effective radiation
treatment available
anywhere.” Patients
even have the option of
checking themselves
into the unit using a
touchscreen and their
I.D.
The superior design
of this machine coupled
with the performance
of the NYCBS team allowed
for the most effi
cient installation in
history. “I think it is
important to acknowledge
Varian’s shared
vision and dedication
to this goal as we could
not have done this as effi
ciently without them”
NYCBS VP of Project
Management, Michael
Boonin added. The entire
As newer and
more effective
treatment options
become available,
you can count on
NYCBS to be at the
forefront of cancer
care, whether it
is a new drug, a
clinical trial or in
this case a new
machine.

installation process
took two weeks which is
a marked improvement
over the industry standard
of three months.
This invariably enables
patients to receive lifesaving
treatment and
therapy faster.
Jeffrey Vacirca,
New York Cancer and
Blood Specialists CEO
acknowledged the merits
of this state-of-theart
technology, “As
newer and more effective
treatment options
become available, you
can count on NYCBS
to be at the forefront of
cancer care, whether it
is a new drug, a clinical
trial or in this case
a new machine. It is our
pledge to our patients
that we will continue
to embrace new technology
in our quest to
conquer cancer closer
to home.”
