Siemens Healthineers and Prisma Health, based in Greenville, USA, are expanding their Value Partnership to help elevate the standard of cancer care in South Carolina and Tennessee. Prisma Health’s $50 million investment includes the acquisition of the Ethos adaptive radiotherapy system from Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company. Adaptive radiotherapy provides cancer patients with more precise and personalized care through AI-driven treatment and planning processes that adapt to tumor and anatomical changes in real time to protect healthy tissue.
