The Galactica system departs from traditional radiotherapy, which typically requires patients to lie down during long, complex procedures. By integrating with Leo Cancer Care’s upright platform, the technology allows for a more comfortable experience while sharpening clinical precision. CEO Thinh Tran described the move into manufacturing as a transition from years of engineering innovation to a tool ready for real-world clinical application.

This platform represents a fundamental shift in medical linear accelerators, a field that has seen little architectural change in seven decades. Beyond its size and efficiency, the system serves as a technical foundation for FLASH radiotherapy—an emerging method that delivers radiation in fractions of a second to destroy tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The first units are slated for installation at the Mayo Clinic later this year, marking a critical test for the company’s mission to modernize standard oncology care.
